Car Bomb Kills Seven Marines Near Fallujah
A car bomb detonated near a U S military convoy nine miles north of Fallujah killing seven Marines and three Iraqi soldiers.

Iraqi Interior Ministry also said tests showed a detainee was not Saddam Hussein's deputy Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, but a relative with a minor role.
