Baghdad security sweep meets limited resistance as U S forces press crackdown
Thousands of U S troops conducted house to house searches in Baghdad's Shiite areas with few armed confrontations while four American soldiers died outside the capital in Diyala province. Iraqi security set up checkpoints, and 14 suspects were detained with four weapons caches found. Analysts warn insurgents may shift fights to Diyala as al Sadr's fate remains unclear.

U.S. to admit more Iraqi refugees pressuring Congress
The Bush administration will admit about 7,000 Iraqi refugees to the United States this year, up from 202 last year, and will provide $18 million for global resettlement. The move, aided by pressure from U.N. and lawmakers, aims to ease humanitarian strain as violence and displacement rise across the region.
