Pipeline blast in Iraq worsens power crisis amid rising heat
Saboteurs blew up a northern oil pipeline near Beiji forcing a 10 percent cut in Iraq's power output as demand grows under a scorching summer. In Najaf gunfire rang out amid fighting between American forces and militiamen loyal to Muqtada al Sadr, while clashes continued around Fallujah. A Polish attack south of Baghdad killed six European soldiers, blamed on mortars and Saddam loyalists. The UN Security Council authorized continued multinational force presence after month-end government formation.
