Najaf Bombed
60 Percent of Voters Oppose War.

Dozens of police were wounded and some may have been killed by a suicide bombing in the holy city of Najaf. Najaf has the shrine of Ali, the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad, and if anything ever happened to it, all hell would break loose.

3 US soldiers were killed in the turbulent al-Anbar province.

60 percent of Americans are against the Iraq War, and 48 percent believe that the US cannot win.

One man was killed and others injured at a northern demonstration against fuel shortages and generally being neglected by the Iraqi government with regard to services.
