BAGHDAD - Guerrillas fired on a police station Thursday in a town west of Baghdad, wounding six Iraqis, and a roadside bomb destroyed a U.S. armored vehicle in the capital. There were no American casualties in either attack.
Two rockets struck the Ramadi Police Directorate, 100 miles west of Baghdad, as officers gathered inside to receive their monthly salaries, said Maj. Samir Habib. Two policemen and four civilians were wounded, he said.
In south-central Baghdad, insurgents detonated a roadside bomb near an American military vehicle, witnesses said.
Report calls Israel "full partner' in spying failuresJERUSALEM - Israel was a "full partner" in U.S. and British intelligence failures that exaggerated former President Saddam Hussein's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, a report by an Israeli military research center has charged.
Israeli intelligence services and political leaders provided "an exaggerated assessment of Iraqi capabilities," raising "the possibility that the intelligence picture was manipulated," Brig. Gen. Shlomo Brom, former deputy commander of the Israeli military's planning division, wrote in an analysis for Tel Aviv University's Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies.
