Israel prolongs war
ISRAELI forces have destroyed an estimated two-thirds of Hizbollah's long-range missile capabilities, a senior government official said.
Israel rejected mounting international pressure to end its 20-day-old war against Hizbollah guerrillas in Lebanon but Washington said a ceasefire could be achieved this week.
Civilians fled battered villages in south Lebanon after Israel agreed a partial halt in air strikes for 48 hours, and aid convoys headed into the area to deliver supplies.
US President George W Bush said he would seek UN action this week on ending the fighting in southern Lebanon but resisted an immediate ceasefire, despite growing pressure a day after a deadly Israeli air strike that killed at least 54 Lebanese civilians.
GUNMEN wearing uniforms of Iraqi security forces kidnapped 25 people from an office in central Baghdad in broad daylight, police said.
