Baghdad and Najaf turmoil as police chief shot and clerics mourn
Acting Baghdad police chief Hassan al Obeidi survived a leg wound from a July weapons raid in downtown Baghdad. A Black Hawk crash killed one U.S. soldier and wounded another, with ongoing insurgent attacks linked to al Qaida. In Najaf, hundreds of thousands mourn Ayatollah al Hakim after Friday’s bombing, while Ansar al Islam denies involvement. The CIA probes a Saddam tape amid conflicting accounts of casualties.
