Saboteurs Blow Up Iraq Pipeline Near Beiji
Insurgents detonated a major northern oil pipeline near Beiji forcing a 10 percent cut in Iraq's 4000 megawatt power output as summer demand grows. In Najaf gunfire erupted for the first time since a truce with militiamen, while clashes persisted around Fallujah. A mortar strike wounded four Iraqi troops guarding the city. Polish authorities revised Tuesday’s death toll to six European soldiers killed by a mortar attack, not an accident.
