...commander of U.S. forces in Diyala province, says small-arms attacks against U.S. and Iraqi forces there rose from 33 in July to 98 in February. Last July had just three suicide bombings in the province; this month there were five in one week, including one at a U.S. patrol base in the valley that killed one soldier and wounded 16 others.

While it is regrettable that piracy threatens the livelihood of musicians around the world, the RIAA...

Once a cosmopolitan city and the center of Iraq's oil industry, the city - under British control - has become a violent maelstrom of warring Islamic elements.
