U.S. troops arrive at the site of a bomb blast in Baghdad's Camp Sara, a mainly Christian neighbor- hood, on Wednesday. War heading to decisive moment in Baghdad Former Pentagon analyst: Securing city won't mean victory, but losing could mean all-out civil war BAGHDAD (AP) - The Iraq war could be heading to its decisive moment: a battle for the capital of Bagh- dad that already has turned dramatically bloodier for American soldiers and carries enormous stakes for the country's future. At least 13 American soldiers have been killed around Baghdad since Monday - the highest four- day U.S. toll in the capital since the 2003 inva- sion. That count is likely to rise higher as the U.S.-led forces step up their campaign to root out the extrem- ist militias, death squads and terrorist cells that have turned the city into a collection of armed, ethnically divided camps. No longer a limited security problem while the main war was being fought out west in Anbar province, the battle of Baghdad is turning out to be "a critical point in the Iraq war, says former Pentagon analyst Antho- ny Cordesman. "Securing Baghdad ... won't win. But losing Bagh- dad will lose," Cordesman says. "If they lose, Iraq is likely to slip into a major civil war." Much of Baghdad is yet to be targeted in the joint U.S.-Iraqi pacification operation. Top commanders - signaling the toughest fight is yet to come - say they need six more Iraqi bat- talions, or 3,000 soldiers, to join the 30,000 Iraqi security forces and 15,000 Americans already in the city. U.S. commanders have defined victory as reducing violence in the capital to the point where Iraqi civil- ian police could handle security. With order restored in the capital, the Iraqi government then could focus on providing security and basic services to the rest of the country - thus creating conditions for U.S. troops to leave. NEWS IN BRIEF SEQUA, South Korea _ e North Korea warned against nuclear test The president of South Korea reportedly ordered his government to send a "grave warning" to North Korea about the consequences of a nuclear test, and Russia said it was trying to dissuade Pyongyang from conducting it. Amid the rising tensions, Japan's Kyodo News agency said a U.S. military plane capable of detecting radiation took off from southern Japan, believed to be part of U.S. efforts to monitor for signs of a North Korean test. North Korea threatened Tuesday to conduct a nuclear test to prove it is a nuclear power. Pyongyang claims it has nuclear weapons and needs them to deter a U.S. attack, but hasn't performed any known test to verify that. South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun huddled in Seoul with his top security adviser and ordered his government to send the "grave warning" to North Korea about the consequences of a test, Yonhap news agency reported. WASHINGTON House opens page sex scandal investigation The House ethics committee opened an expansive investigation into the unfolding page sex scandal yesterday, approving nearly four dozen subpoenas for witnesses and documents as House Speaker Dennis Hastert held his ground against pressure to resign. "I'm deeply sorry this has happened and the bottom line is we're taking respon- sibility,' Hastert (R-Ill.) told at a news conference outside his district office. "Ultimately, the buck stops here," the speaker said of the controversy enveloping the House, former Republican Rep. Mark Foley of Florida and the page program, a venerable institution almost as old as the Congress itself. Hastert's handling of the issue has come under harsh criticism by some fellow Repub- licans and conservative activists at a time when the GOP is worried about holding onto its congressional majority power in the fast-approaching midterm elections. UNITED NATIONS Security Council to discuss Iran sanctions The U.N. Security Council will start discussing a resolution next week that would impose sanctions on Iran for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment, Britain's U.N. ambassador said yesterday. The council's decision to take up a sanctions resolution follows lengthy nego- tiations between European and Iranian negotiators that failed to convince Tehran to suspend its enrichment program during negotiations on its nuclear program. "I expect the Iranian dossier to re-emerge in New York in the course of next week, Britain's U.N. Ambassador Emyr Jones Parry said. Britain "will be discussing with its partners and with members of the council the basis for action by the council to adopt measures under Article 41 against Iran," he said. SANTA ROSA, Calif. Judge dismisses porn charges against Karr A judge dismissed child pornography charges Thursday against former JonBenet Ramsey murder suspect John Mark Karr after prosecutors said they didn't have enough evidence to take the case to trial. Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Rene Chouteau ordered Karr released immedi- ately, bringing an end to his two-month odyssey in the U.S. criminal justice system after he was extradited from Thailand on suspicion of killing the 6-year-oldbeauty queen. Karr, 41, was returned to California last month to face the five-year-old por- nography case after DNA evidence cleared him of killing the girl in her Boulder, Colo., home in 1996.
