July consumer spending released on Friday made economists even more bullish about the economy's growth prospects in the current quarter. Some estimated that the economy in the July-September quarter could grow at close to a 6 percent annual rate, nearly double the 3.1 percent pace seen in the second quarter.

NAJAF, Iraq: Four non-Iraqi Arabs have been arrested here in connection with a car bombing which killed a leading Shiite cleric and dozens of other people, while three other suspects are on the run, a police source told Saturday.

"We captured four suspects Friday, none of them Iraqi, all of them Arab.
They told us there were three others with them," the source said.
Friday's car bombing outside the mausoleum of Imam Ali killed top Shiite

Latest..In Najaf the house of Sheik Muqtada al-Sadr according to some reports has been surrounded by US troops, he and his supporters are being forcibly disarmed.. < Saddam City leaders take their orders from the al-hawza al-ilmiyah, the Arabic phrase for the top Shiite clerics of Najaf. The man most likely the culprit in this new violence may be Sheik Muqtada al-Sadr, son of al-Sistani's predecessor as grand ayatollah, Mohammed Sadiq al-Sadr, who was killed by Saddam's regime in 1999 and now revered as martyr.

Muqtada al-Sadr looks to me doing what 'Al-Pacino did post Don Cleron in God father 2,
