	Is Abdelaziz OK? \| Special reports \| Guardian Unlimited
		Nassiriya, however, is a name on our collective map in recent days as US, British and Iraqi troops fight to control it; yet, for many of us it is probably no more than a name, a geographical fly on its way to being swatted by coalition might.

	La seconda battaglia di Nassiriya (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Sulla consistenza numerica dell'Esercito del Mahdi impegnato a Nassiriya vi sono cifre discordanti: sulla stampa nazionale appaiono stime di 100, 150, 180, 200 fino ad arrivare a un massimo di 500 elementi.
		Dalle immagini televisive riprese dalla base italiana di White Horse distante 13 chilometri da Nassiriya, si vedono esplosioni e traccianti illuminare il cielo (forse i miliziani che cercano d'ingaggiare elicotteri a bassa quota?), si vocifera di un intervento aereo statunitense.
		A questo proposito, la tutto sommato cauta reazione italiana manifestata durante la battaglia potrebbe in realtà nascondere un elemento di sportività: si aspetta infatti che i sadristi siano in grado di confrontarsi alla pari con i nostri militari.

	Italians leave Iraq, more bodies found in Baghdad
		NASSIRIYA, Iraq (Reuters) - Italy, the last major Western European ally of the United States and Britain in Iraq, ended its mission on Thursday, handing the province under its control over to Iraqi troops.
		Thirty-eight bodies were found dumped in the streets of Baghdad, a toll that has become almost routine in the capital over the past weeks as death squads roam its streets, dragging victims out of homes and shops, torturing and killing them.
		Italy was one of the few Western European countries to support the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 under its then centre-right government, which was voted out of office in April.
