Manila, Philippines
Iraqi diplomat expelled
The Philippines today expelled a senior Iraqi diplomat, saying there was strong evidence linking him to a weekend bombing in which one Iraqi was killed and another injured.
Government investigator said al-Ai and another Iraqi militant drove, drew the two buses to the site on Saturday's.
Foreign Secretary Raul Manglapus told reporters that Iraqi First Secretary Muwaafak al-Ani was given 72 hours to leave the country.
The bomb went off by accident as one of the Iraqis set the timer, said Sarah Andes, an immigration bureau official. It occurred about a block from a U.S. government-run library in Manila.
If the reports of the Iraqi link are true, it would apparently be the first time Baghdad had carried through — albeit ineffectively — on its threat of global terrorism in response to the U.S. led assault
On Sunday, the U.S. Embassy said the bombing was apparently "an example of the announced Iraqi intention to target U.S. and allied installations and interests."
Mayport, Fla.
Carrier leaves for gulf
Navy families scrambled to pack belongings, do laundry and say their goodbyes after a second Florida-based aircraft carrier, the USS Forrestal, received word it would join allied forces in the
The Mayport-based Forrestal and its crew of about 3,000 will be deployed to the eastern Mediterranean to help bolster Israel's defenses against a Bush administration source said in Washington.
Several sailors who asked that their last names not be used said they were told Sunday that the Forrestal would depart tomorow, along with several smaller ships in the carrier's battle group.
In the Jacksonville suburb where many Forrestal crew members live, laundromats were busy and sailors lined up outside a self-storage company to stow cars and furniture.
San Diego
Purple Heart awarded
A Navy medic wounded by Iraqi shrapnel during an exchange of fire across the akwuui border will be the first recipient of a Purple Heart in the Persian Gulf war, officials said.
Petty Officer 3rd Class Clarence D. Conner, 21, was recovering Sunday after a jagged piece of metal from the ceiling struck her.
"I'm very proud of him," said Florence Sanders,
"to her and her husband. Clarence Sanders, raiser
of the club."
A cousin, Judy Zimmerman, from Cheney, Wash., said the whole family was proud.
"He's going back with his unit at his request." Zimmerman said. "I know he pleaded with his company to give him the unit."
Conner was assigned to the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion of the 1st Marine Division.
Iraq uses decoys of Scud launchers
Sadler said. Baghdadia who have not fled their ancient riverside city are underground in air raid shelters.

People emerge during the day to haul water from the river. A woman, apparently the last Western correspondent in Baghdad,
there were wildly varying and unsubstantiated claims on Iraqi casualties.
An anti-Saddam Kurdish resistance group with an established network in Iraq said the military suffered almost 4,000 casualties in the war's first three days. It did not distinguishe between dead and wounded. An anti-Saddam Iraq religious leader even spoke of 70,000 militant and 30,000 civilian casualties. Neither offered evidence.
The Iraqi government itself reported Sunday that 40 civilians and 33 soldiers had been killed.
The U.S. command has asserted repeatedly that its "smart" weapons are zering in on strategic targets and causing minimal civilian damage. Reporters and officials in Afghanistan said they saw no heavy damage to civilian areas.
But the Iraqis cited alleged attacks on civilian sites in announcing they were sending more than 20 captured allied airmen out to "civilian, economic, education and other targets" in an attempt to ward off allied bombardments.
Iraq found support for its claims from an unexpected source — its neighbor and former enemy Iran.
An Iranian Foreign Ministry statement said reports from target areas showed the "U.S. attacks have exceeded military goals . . . in some instances Iraqi cities and the innocent people of Iraq have been attacked."
The United States lists 21 allied servicemen as missing in the war, 12 of them Americans. The Iraqis displayed three American and four allied POWs on Baghdad television on Sunday, and two of the Americans, clearly under duress, made anti-war statements. The videotape reached American TV screens yesterday.
"America is angry," Bush said yesterday.
In an otherwise unconfirmed report, a Yemeni refugee reaching Jordan from Baghdad told a San Francisco Examiner reporter he saw an American pilot set upon and killed by an Iraqi mob after he ejected from his plane.
Western strategists say Iraq's nuclear-weapons potential was targeted in the air war.
The anti-Saddam Kurdish group, the Kurdistan Democratic Party, said yesterday that allied bombing had destroyed nuclear, biological and chemical facilities, armament factories, at least six air bases and four oil
The U.S. military command has issued little specific information on targets and results. In its daily briefing yesterday at Riyadh headquarters, the command said more than 8,000 air sorties had been flown thus far, and nine U.S. and five allied aircraft had been to hostile fire.
But Air Force Maj. Gen. Burton Moore said "we are nowhere near" achieving a prime objective of the campaign — to track down and destroy Iraq's Scud mobile launchers, a threat to both Israel and Saudi Arabia.
The biggest barrage yet of Scuds rained down on Saudi Arabia Sunday night and early yesterday. All were intercepted and destroyed by Patriot missiles — except for one that fell harmlessly into the gulf. The Iraqis fired another late yesterday that fell into the gulf.
