Three US soldiers have died in separate resistance attacks in Iraq. Two were killed and 13 wounded at the Abu Ghraib prison west of Baghdad when the attackers fired mortar bombs at the building. It is one of the largest prisons in Iraq, housing common criminals and suspected anti-US guerrillas. Another soldier died when his vehicle was blown up by a bomb in Ramadi, west of Baghdad. Meanwhile Akila al-Hashemi, a member of the US-appointed Iraqi Governing Council, is in a stable condition after being targeted in a gun attack. Saddam loyalists and foreign fighters have been blamed. The events form a gloomy backdrop to the first visit by members of the Governing Council to the US. **Blix Slams U.S. on Handling of Iraq War*** Former U.N. chief weapons inspector Hans Blix accused the United States of showing "questionable honesty" over Iraq and said the country was attacked despite posing no immediate threat. In Iraq, there was no sign of an immediate threat" from weapons of mass destruction, Blix told the Athens daily Kathimerini, in an interview published Sunday. "What worries me is the questionable honesty of a government that publicly presents certain arguments, but privately has different thoughts." Blix spent three years searching for Iraqi chemical, biological and ballistic missiles as head of the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission. He has been critical of the role played by the U.S. and British governments in Iraq, in interviews since his retirement on June 30. George Bush and Tony Blair have come under increasing pressure to prove that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. "The American government ... has the tendency to reach hasty conclusions," Blix said. "I don't think anything will come to light in Iraq that will justify the invasion." In the weeks before U.S. and British forces invaded Iraq, some U.S. officials strongly criticized Blix's reports to the Security Council for failing to support the Bush administration's contention that Saddam had an active illegal weapons programs. Blix, whose remarks were published in Greek, was interviewed in Stockholm, Sweden. **PHOTO CAPTION*** Occupation troops stand in line during a training course at a base in Mosul, 400 kms north of Baghdad, Iraq, Sunday, Sept. 21, 2003.
