Israeli military chief resigns
ISRAELI Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has accepted the resignation of the chief of his armed forces after probes pointed to his responsibility for the setbacks of last year's Lebanon war.

The departure of Lieutenant-General Dan Halutz is a fresh blow to Olmert's government, already dogged by a string of political scandals.

"With the echoes of battle having faded, I have decided to act on my responsibility," Halutz said in his resignation letter.
