Invasion Anniversary Marked Amid Rebel Attacks in Iraq
On the first anniversary of U S strikes to oust Saddam Hussein the war zone saw continued combat as two Marines died and Colin Powell cited a spike in attacks. President Bush defended the war at the White House while Iraqis voiced mixed views. Rebels targeted Baghdad and other areas with bombings and rocket attacks as residents questioned the political motives behind the timing of Bush's remarks. Electricity and economy showed modest postwar gains, with electricity back to prewar levels and per capita income up 33 percent that year.

Witness protection expands to aid terrorism testifiers
The Justice Department seeks 15 extra US marshals and 2 million more this year to shield witnesses in terrorism cases. The program could include foreign born or legally in the U S informants, with protection available for those whose safety is at risk. Prosecutors say cooperation yields high conviction rates and disrupts criminal enterprises.
