US forces recapture key southern city in Iraq
US forces say they have retaken most of a major southern city from a Shiite militia. The first anniversary of the Fallujah assault saw renewed fighting as gunfire broke a declared pause. Insurgents attacked a fuel convoy near Al Amiriyah, killing a U.S. soldier and Iraqi driver. A second soldier died at Camp Cook. Across Iraq this week, 42 U.S. troops were killed, with Iraqi deaths over 460, including more than 280 in Fallujah. Bremer had ordered a unilateral pause to allow talks, aid, and burials.

Creekstone Ag chief laments meatpackers plan rejection
Creekstone spokesman Brad Caudill says officials left the company feeling discouraged after the Agriculture Department rejected their plan. The firm had increased production at its Arkansas City plant and reported successful BSE testing runs on nearly 20 head, though lab work remained. Slaughter manager Brad Reed criticized the USDA for allowing a single BSE infected carcass into the country and accused the agency of a cover story.
