Explosion devastates suspected chemical weapons warehouse in Baghdad
In Baghdad a suspected chemical weapons warehouse blew up in flames after a U S assault, killing two soldiers and wounding five as jubilant Iraqis looted Humvees. In Fallujah Marines battled insurgents near a mosque, with one Marine and eight insurgents killed during the clashes as a cease-fire violation persisted. Brig Gen Kimmitt noted unclear cause and possible chemicals, pending coalition reports. Outside Najaf Shiite militiamen fired at U S positions as about 200 troops entered the city core.

Texas considers video gambling at race tracks
In Austin the House education committee weighs allowing video gambling at horse and dog tracks to fund public education. Agriculture Commissioner Susan Combs and Rep. Ron Wilson push the measure, arguing it could create rural jobs, boost purse sizes, and attract trainers, with projected first year revenue up to 600 million dollars and potential growth beyond one billion. Some Republicans oppose any expansion of gambling, citing family values and concerns about casino gambling.
