((Scrambling to find loved ones beneath the rubble, bewildered residents in the troubled town of Fallujah wonder what happened to the ceasefire called here two months ago. They say American aircraft fired missiles at a residential neighborhood, killing several Iraqis. The US military said the target of the airstrike was a "known hideout" of a terrorist group with links to Abu Musab al Zarqawi... The Jordanian militant is a suspected agent of Al Qaeda...the mastermind behind several suicide car bomb attacks in Iraq...and thought to be the man shown beheading US hostage Nicholas Berg last month.

US OFFICIALS SAY IT WAS A SINGLE AIRSTRIKE THAT HIT THE SUSPECTED HIDEOUT. THEY ALSO CLAIM THAT SECONDARY EXPLOSIONS CONTINUED TO GO OFF FOR TWENTY MINUTES AFTER THE INITIAL STRIKE THE MILITARY SAYS THAT'S PROOF IT WAS PROBABLY A BOMB FACTORY TOO. IYADALLAWI /Interim Prime Minister WE ARE GOING TO PREVAIL AND WE ARE GOING TO WIN AND WE ARE GOING TO PREVAIL AT THE END OF THE DAY AND WE WILL RECTIFY THESE PROBLEMS. Rectifying the problem of the country's crippled pipelines has proven to be harder than expected... Under sweltering temperatures soaring over 110 degrees, Iraqi engineers worked frantically to weld together one of the pipelines...protected under the watchful eye of the US military. That US-Iraqi cooperation also came from an unexpected place...in Najaf, where joint patrols began for the first time since US forces pulled out a few weeks ago. The successful transition to Iraqi sovereignty depends not on the Iraqis, nor the US troops, but a delicate balance of both. Charlie D'Agata, CBS News, Baghdad.))

Rosie the Cow was the only successful clone of more than nine hundred embryos. In two years, Rosie had more photos taken of her than most kids. She was part cow, part pet.

But she was always a research project, and Monday night that point was reinforced when, without warning, Rosie collapsed and died. An autopsy revealed no abnormalities, but scientists say cloned animals tend to die young.

But new research suggests neither the planes' impact nor jet fuel brought the towers down. The fuel itself was consumed in a matter of minutes. Scientists re-created the 96th floor, complete with computers, furniture, carpets and paper and set it on fire. Now the investigators are close to proving it was every day office material, burning in a fire fed by oxygen supplied by broken windows, that caused the steel to warp and break. They'll lay out their final report this fall.
