A woman covers her face as she grieves during a funeral for her brother who was killed in Saturday's bomb blast, in Najaf, 160 km (100 miles) south of Baghdad, February 4, 2007. Iraq's government on Sunday renewed its pledge to crack down on militants after a massive suicide truck bomb killed 135 people in a mainly Shi'ite area of Baghdad.

Italian intelligence officer Nicola Calipari speaks on a mobile phone in an undated file photo. A Rome judge on February 7, 2007 ordered a U.S. soldier to stand trial on homicide charges for shooting dead an Italian intelligence agent in Iraq in 2005 as he was escorting a newly freed hostage to safety, prosecutors said. Mario Lozano of the U.S. Army's 69th Infantry Regiment was charged with voluntary homicide for shooting Nicola Calipari at a checkpoint near Baghdad airport. He was also charged with two counts of attempted homicide -- one for the other Italian agent driving the vehicle and the second for the freed hostage inside.
