General blames Zarqawi for Iraqi bloodshed
A US general said Iraq's spike in violence is driven by Abu Musab al Zarqawi, while a deadly Baghdad car bombing killed at least eight police and wounded 25. Five Marines and a sailor died near Ramadi, and Staff Sgt. Alberto B. Martinez was charged with murder over deaths at a base north of Baghdad. Shifts in the investigation of June killings surfaced as parliament and Sunni leaders moved toward drafting the constitution amid insurgent pressure. Dozens of hooded insurgents surrounded a Ramadi mosque to disrupt talks on reconciliation and the charter.
