Abu Ghraib Military Trial Moves Forward Pfc. Lynndie England, a soldier charged in the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal, has decided to move forward with a new military trial, refusing to challenge the charges against her. Fort Hood�s commanding general will now decide whether England will face any or all of the seven charges levied against her for her part in the widely-publicized abuse charges of Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib. England faces 11 years in prison if convicted on the two counts of conspiracy to maltreat detainees, four counts of maltreatment and one count of committing an indecent act.
Iraq Suffers Oil Shortage in Kirkut A production shortage of oil in the northern fields of Kirkuk has forced Iraq to suspended oil exports to the Turkish port of Ceyhan. The northern pipeline and surrounding facilities are frequently sabotaged by anti-government and anti-American insurgents throughout the region. The halt on exportation comes on the heels of an announcement that Iraq�s oil output in the south has declined by nearly 190,000 barrels a day in the past week. The southern production problems are blamed on technical problems.
16 Dead in Iraq after Bombings, IEDs So far this week, eight Iraqis have been killed after bombs detonated outside a suburban girls� school and an army recruitment office, and eight US troops are dead after encountering roadside bombs and small-arms shootings across Iraq. The recent deaths cap a month of violence that has claimed 620 lives in Iraq, including 57 US soldiers. In the two months since the new Iraqi government took control of the country, insurgent attacks against civilians and military personnel by Iraqis and foreign fighters has surged. According to officials, the number of suicide bombings in the past four weeks has now surpassed the number of suicide bombings for all of last year.
Aussie Beauty School Student Gets 20 Years in Bali Drug Smuggling A Bali court sentenced an Australian woman to 20 years in an Australian prison after finding her guilty of attempting to smuggle nine pounds of marijuana into the Indonesian city. Schapelle Corby, 27, attracted a huge media following in Australia, where many of her countrymen believe Corby�s defense that the drugs were planted in her luggage. Corby could have faced the death penalty, but prosecutors requested a life sentence instead. Indonesia's tough anti-drug laws stem from the country�s rampant illicit drug use and frequent overdoses by its young, mostly poor, residents.
Reports Say al-Zarqawi is Injured Responding to reports insurgent leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been wounded in recent fighting along the Pakistani border, Iraq�s Interior Minister claims the government is unsure about the validity of the recent reports. Al-Zarqawi is a longstanding top target for the US military. There is a $25 million reward on al-Zarqawi, who is believed to be responsible for countless bombings and kidnappings around Iraq. Several Islamist Web sites this week asked supporters to pray for the militant leader, reporting he has been wounded. If true, the seriousness of his condition remains unknown.
40,000 Troops will Patrol Baghdad In an attempt to boost security in and around Baghdad, Iraq�s Defense Minister Sadoun al-Dulaimi has announced a plan to employ more than 40,000 security personnel. The plan calls for the capital to be split into quadrants, where soldiers and police will conduct sporadic raids, security cordons and vehicle checkpoints. Similar anti-insurgent operations are planned for other cities in Iraq, active terrorists and hidden weapons caches continue to threaten the region.
Bush Threatens to Veto Stem Cell Bill President Bush says he will veto a bill that would expand public funding for embryonic stem cell research. If so, this will be the first veto of Bush�s presidency. Supporters of the bill claim advanced scientific discoveries and the cure for diseases depend on stem cell research, but the president has long opposed federally funding the practice. The stem cell research bill has about 200 co-sponsors, and with 290 votes needed to override a veto, supporters are hoping the legislation will pass even if it is initially vetoed. Republicans, including Nancy Reagan, wife of former president Ronald Reagan, who died of Alzheimer�s disease, are trying to sway Bush and draw attention to the benefits of stem cell research before the legislation is presented.
Prisoners Escape from Abu Ghraib Three prisoners escaped from Abu Ghraib through two holes in the parameter fence, according to military officials. The detainees were discovered missing at 5:50 a.m., when US forces noted their absence during a routine headcount of the prison�s 3,400 inmates. It is believed the men escaped the previous night. A quick reaction force that included all available guards responded and launched a comprehensive search of the prison grounds for the unidentified escapees. The Abu Ghraib breech is the second US detention facility that has been compromised in Iraq this year. 11 prisoners escaped from Camp Bucca in southern Iraq just two months ago.
