The U.S. President on Tuesday held loyalists of Saddam Hussein responsible for the almost daily attacks on coalition forces in Iraq, asserting that those who threaten Iraq's order and stability, like the Saddam Hussein regime, will be destroyed.

Meanwhile, thousands of Iraqis buried the bodies of victims from an explosion that occurred at a mosque in western Baghdad at night while chanting slogans against America. Iraqi witnesses claim that a U.S. missile or bomb caused the explosion, a claim denied by American officials.
