BAGHDAD - In fierce resistance to U.S. efforts to secure the Syrian border, insurgents killed eight American troops in one day in car bombings and an ambush, Army and Marine officials said yesterday.
The deadly attacks Monday in western Iraq included the ambush of six Marines on a foot patrol outside of Haditha, Marine officials said. Five of the Marines were killed by small-arms fire in the initial assault, but one was “unaccounted for” and later found dead a couple of miles away, a Marine statement said. Officials declined to say whether he was taken hostage before he was killed, and the military was investigating the incident.

NEW YORK Steven Vincent, the American journalist murdered in Basra yesterday, was not a foreign correspondent. He was an art critic, who on September 11 watched from his East Village, Manhattan, rooftop (not far from the offices of E&P) as United Airlines Flight 175 flew into the World Trade Center.
Later, with the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Vincent, 49, a self-described patriot, decided he wanted to be there as history unfolded, and record it as best he could. He then made his own personal journeys to Iraq in late 2003 and early 2004.

AN INVESTIGATION began last night into an aviation “great escape”, which saw all 300 passengers - including seven Britons - survive a plane crash at Toronto airport.
Everyone aboard the Air France plane got clear before flames and smoke engulfed the aircraft, which overshot the runway in bad weather at Pearson International Airport on Tuesday.
Forty-three people on the Airbus A340 crash suffered minor injuries. The Foreign Office said none of the Britons were hurt.
With the crew and passengers available for interview as well as other eye witnesses, aviation experts believe investigators will quickly establish the cause of the crash of the flight from Paris.

A Canadian government official said it appeared that eveyone on the Air France A340 flight from Paris that burst into flames in Toronto yesterday has survived.
Around 14 people are thought to have suffered minor injuries.
A jetliner carrying more than 300 skidded off a runway while landing in a thunderstorm at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.
Steve Shaw, a vice president of the Greater Toronto Airport Authority, said there were 297 passengers and 12 crew aboard the plane. He said the jet overshot the runway by 200 yards and that he believed the fire broke out after the passengers were evacuated.
