American troops more concerned about

BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. forces in Iraq say they’re more con-
cerned about guerrilla attacks and the heat than about a pneumo-
nia outbreak that has killed two soldiers and sent more than a
dozen to Europe for medical care.
- In Washington, military health care experts say they have issued
new guidelines to fight the illness, but more than a dozen soldiers
interviewed Wednesday by The Associated Press in Baghdad and
Tikrit said they haven't seen them. K
"That's news to me,” said Staff Sgt. Julian Oliver, 28. “They
have put out nothing on it."
He and six other soldiers manned a checkpoint on the 14th of
July Bridge in the capital, Baghdad.
"I don't know how it’s possible to get pneumonia in this heat."
said Oliver, of New York City, sweat streaming down his face.
“There is more danger out there for me and my soldiers than

More than 100 soldiers on duty in Iraq have been infected with
pneumonia since March 1, according to Col. Guy Shields, a top
military spokesman in Baghdad. Fourteen of the cases were serf

TIKRIT, Iraq — U.S. forces
captured four suspected leaders
of the anti-U.S. resistance in Iraq
during pre-dawn raids Thursday,
the military said, a day after the
Americans netted 18 suspected
Saddam Hussein loyalists and
found a huge stockpile of
weapons.

U.S. forces on July 29, Russell
said Wednesday.
Russell did not identify the
man, who was handed over to the
Americans, but said he was the
what he called a "joint inves-
tigation” of al-Bayoumi under
his consent.
A relative of al-Bayoumi
said Wednesday that the Saudi
man will "reveal all that went
on” after the FBI investigation
is over. The relative, who

A U.S. Congressional report
says al-Bayoumi befriended
and helped al-Qaida members

al-Hazmi, two of the hijackers
on the jet that crashed into the
Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001.
In an interview with Dubai-
based Al-Arabiya television

Eighteen other suspected

Wednesday across north-central
Iraq, Maj. Josslyn Aberle said.
An Iraqi informant led sol-
diers to a large weapons cache
25 miles northeast of Tikrit,
Saddam's hometown, on Sunday,
she said. It included two 20-foot
missiles, 3,000 mortar rounds,
250 anti-tank rockets and almost
2,000 artillery rounds.
Russell said soldiers killed a
man who tried to attack soldiers
with a rocket-propelled grenade
in Tikrit. "He was sneaking
through an alleyway and we
engaged him. Soldiers saw him
fall," Russell said. “We will
engage or kill anyone with
RPGs.”
