Abu Ghraib prison was much feared in Saddam Hussein's era

A US army reserve general whose subordinates were photographed abusing Iraqi inmates at a Baghdad prison has said she was "sickened" by the images.

Brigadier General Janis Karpinski has been suspended with several other officers while an investigation is carried out.

She told the New York Times the high security cells where the photographs were taken were under the control of military intelligence officers.

They were in and out of the cells "24 hours a day," she was quoted as saying.

The gunmen are said to have been shot dead by Israeli security forces

A mother and four Israeli children have been killed after two Palestinian gunmen attacked a Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli Army said.

The attack near the Gush Katif bloc came as Israel's ruling Likud Party voted on Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's plan to pull out of Gaza.

Army Radio said the militants had opened fire on a vehicle, and detonated a bomb at an army post.

Both gunmen are also said to have been killed following the attack.

The audacious attack seems to have been unprecedented

Saudi Arabia has vowed to use an "iron fist" against militants after gunmen shot dead five Western expatriate engineers in the port town of Yanbu.

"The kingdom will eliminate terrorism no matter how long it takes," said Crown Prince Abdullah.

The gunmen killed two Americans, two Britons, an Australian and a Saudi national guard.

Security forces pursued and shot dead all four attackers, who had fled the scene, the authorities said.

Jordan 'was chemical bomb target'

 

 

 

 

 

 

Officials say materials for a chemical bomb have been found

Al-Qaeda-linked terrorists planned a chemical attack on Jordan's spy headquarters that could have killed 20,000 people, officials have said.

Earlier this week King Abdullah said a massive attack had been thwarted by a series of arrests, but named no target.

Now unnamed officials say the suspects have confessed to plotting to detonate a chemical bomb on the Amman HQ of the Intelligence Services.

The plot was reportedly hatched by al-Qaeda suspect Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi.
