Ten years ago: U.N. Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar announced a cease-fire between Iran and Iraq.

Five years ago: In Somalia, four U.S. soldiers were killed when a land mine was detonated underneath their vehicle. This prompted President Clinton to order Army Rangers to try to capture Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid.

One year ago: The Teamsters and United Parcel Service completed a second day of federally mediated talks, with neither side reporting progress toward ending a strike.
