[Aidoneus]

A bit of a summary because it's a long article with much news--Also action in Najaf, al-Fallujah (goes without saying, that's safe to say any day). The highway from Baghdad to Jordan has been shut down. Spanish occupation forces in Najaf have been targeted. A US occupation convoy in al-Mosul was attacked by a roadside bomb, one invader killed and other wounded according to the occupation's military authorities.
