Key developments in Iraq on Tuesday:

• U.S. troops continued the search for three American soldiers feared captured by al-Qaida during a deadly weekend ambush south of Baghdad, the military said. Spokesman Lt. Col. Christopher Garver said they had conducted more than 450 tactical interviews and detained 11 individuals as of Monday night.

• A mortar or rocket slammed into the U.S.-controlled Green Zone, wounding five American Embassy contractors and causing minimal property damage, an embassy spokesman said.

• A pair of bombs hidden in plastic bags exploded within minutes in two shops selling CDs and cigarettes in central Baghdad, killing at least seven people and wounding 17, Iraqi police said. They prevented news photographers and camera operators from filming the scene under a new policy limiting coverage of such attacks.

• Suspected insurgents fired four mortar shells at a fruit and vegetable wholesale market near Baghdad's Shiite slum of Sadr City, killing four civilians and wounding 11, according to police and hospital officials.

• About 50 suspected insurgents attacked a small Shiite village in Diyala province, killing five people and wounding 14, Iraqi army and police officers said.

• Gunmen killed an Iraqi army colonel working for the ministry of defense.

• A roadside bomb apparently hit a U.S. convoy in the Kamaliya area of southeastern Baghdad. AP Television News video showed one of the convoy's trucks burning and two U.S. Black Hawk helicopters circling overhead.

7. Oh, we needn't worry about this much longer:

the U.S. military and the Iraqi government are moving to prevent the reporting of such pictures of Iraq in future. So hell will just go on and on, without bothering us here in the U.S.
