The U.S. military commander of Iraq's biggest province said Thursday American troops were virtually powerless to stop escalating booby-trap and bomb attacks on their convoys.

A US soldier has been killed after his armoured car drove over a land mine on the road from the centre of Baghdad to the airport.  It is the second American death reported in Iraq today. 

The overthrow of Saddam Hussein has not lessened the security threat to Britain from weapons of mass destruction and international terrorism, MPs have warned. 

U.S. forces killed at least three suspected insurgents spotted near an American base in volatile eastern Afghanistan, a U.S. military spokesman said Thursday.

President Bush has a huge credibility gap stemming from his exaggerated rhetoric that led the United States to attack Iraq.
