Key developments concerning Iraq:
A U.S. MILITARY helicopter crashed into a canal in central Iraq, killing four Marines on a resupply mission. A fifth drowned trying to save them Monday.
THE U.S.-LED administration began hauling away trash today that has been piling up across Baghdad, trying to defuse criticism that it is not doing enough to restore basic public services.
THE UNITED STATES pressed for a vote on lifting U.N. sanctions against Iraq, a measure the Security Council seems virtually certain to approve.
LOOTERS were stripping Iraq's vulnerable oil installations of sheet metal, computers, light fixtures, even copper wiring, undermining efforts to revive the all-important industry.
