Fresh reporting also indicates that up to 380 tons of highly explosive material has been looted from an arms dump that was believed to have been guarded by the American military.

The war in Iraq is becoming more intense by the week and with the U.S. presidential election just over a week away, both candidates are pressing their positions.
