It's like reading the Stars & Stripes in 1968...

<snip>
In other violence Saturday:

_ An Iraqi woman working as a translator for the U.S. military was shot and killed along with her husband as they drove to a U.S. base, a hospital official said.

_ A car bomb, apparently set off by a suicide attacker, exploded near a U.S. base on a downtown street in the northern city of Tikrit, hometown of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and a center for anti-U.S. resistance.

Three bodies were seen in the blackened wreckage of a car. Witnesses said they believed the blast targeted a convoy of Iraqi officials heading to the mayor's office in the city. The top U.S. administrator in Iraq, L. Paul Bremer, visited Tikrit a day earlier for meetings with tribal leaders.

_ Polish troops clashed overnight with Shiite militiamen in the city of Karbala, killing five, a spokesman for the multinational peacekeeping force in south-central Iraq said Saturday. A day earlier, followers of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr attacked Bulgarian troops in the city, killing one soldier.
