The US military reports that American soldiers in Baghdad have killed two suspected insurgents and arrested several others. This follows the implementation of a new program on Wednesday aimed at pursuing those involved in attacks against coalition forces. American forces destroyed a vehicle used for launching rockets at American soldiers, as well as an abandoned warehouse utilized by insurgents. Hours before this attack, a truck bomb explosion killed 18 Italians and 8 Iraqis in the city of Nasiriyah in southern Iraq. Meanwhile, President Bush met in Washington with Paul Bremer, the senior civilian advisor, to discuss the situation in Iraq. Officials say the talks included the possibility of changes in the Governing Council in Iraq, which was established by the US, and accelerating the transfer of power in Iraq to a democratic government.
