Iraq faces greater risk from advanced attack methods
The leaflet warned Iraqis to stay home and avoid markets on Saturday and Sunday, while U S officials blamed Saddam loyalists and extremists for rising attacks. A Chinook crash left about 18 wounded, transported to Ramstein for treatment as Rumsfeld called the day tragic but necessary. Bremer urged Syria and Iran to seal borders to curb fighters, while oil pipelines near Samara and Tikrit were struck, hampering Iraq’s stalled recovery.
