"A suicide car bomb exploded northeast of the Iraqi capital on Monday, an apparent attempt to assassinate a deputy governor. He was wounded, officials said, while seven people were killed. The deputy governor of Diyala province, Aqil Hamid al-Adili, was in stable condition and was being treated at a U.S.-led coalition medical facility... 'This was a suicide attack with a booby-trapped car,' Police Brig. Daoud Mahmoud Mahmoud said a white station wagon laden with explosives blew up outside al-Adili's home. Citing police reports, he said seven Iraqi policemen were killed. At least 17 people were also wounded in the blast, including police and passers-by, Mahmoud said.... The blast shattered the windows of al-Adili's house, blew doors off their hinges and lightly injured the deputy governor's 9-year-old son, Mahmoud said. Guerrillas ... have used car bombs to attack top officials of the interim government, Iraqi security forces and American troops."

Jack Fairweather talks to families who fled the fighting in Fallujah..."There were bodies by the road but no one stopped. We just wanted to get out of that hellish place'..."Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw in Fallujah yesterday," he (the doctor) said. "There is no law on earth that can justify what the Americans have done to innocent people..."I used to believe it was a good thing the Americans came to Iraq. Now I have lost all hope until the occupation ends." His wife Hakima said: "There was little resistance in Fallujah before this week. People no longer believed in fighting the Americans. Now everyone belongs to the resistance."
