U.S. forces, meanwhile, said they killed 14 suspected insurgents, detained 48, and rescued a kidnapped Iraqi policeman in a pair of raids beginning on Tuesday afternoon.

U.S. forces said they killed 10 suspected insurgents and rescued a kidnapped Iraqi policeman early Wednesday in a raid near Muqdadiyah, about 60 miles north of Baghdad.
Acting on a tip-off, the troops fought their way into a building, where they found the hostage blindfolded and shackled to the floor. The policemen told troops two other patrolmen captured with him days earlier had already been ransomed by their families. A sniper rifle, mortar system, bomb making materials and other weapons were found on the scene, the military said.
U.S. troops also said they killed four suspected insurgents and detained 48 others during a raid on Tuesday afternoon in Ramadi, 70 miles west of Baghdad. Rocket-propelled grenades, machine guns, grenades and explosives-rigged vests used by suicide bombers were found in a vehicle, the military said.

BEIT HANOUN, Gaza Strip — Hamas' military wing called Wednesday on Muslims around the world to attack American targets and abandoned their truce with Israel following reports that an Israeli tank strike killed 18 people in the Gaza Strip.
The threat signaled a possible change in tactics by Hamas militants, who have historically directed their homicide bombings and rocket attacks only against Israeli targets.
"America is offering political, financial and logistic cover for the Zionist occupation crimes, and it is responsible for the Beit Hanoun massacre. Therefore, the people and the nation all over the globe are required to teach the American enemy tough lessons," Hamas said in a statement sent to The Associated Press.
