U.S. military officials in Iraq acknow0ledge that they have failed to bottle up the southern and western borders with Saudi Arabia and Syria, which infiltrators can easily cross. Lieut.

General Ricardo Sanchez, commander of the coalition ground forces in Iraq, "there's by no means any sense of comfort on my part that we have identified and secured everything that was out there."

...people were killed and more than 50 injured in a car bombing of the Jordanian embassy in Baghdad--the deadliest incident of any kind since the fall of Saddam's regime.
