Star Diamond Project 8.1 Carat Diamond Recovered In 226 Carat Parcel
Thursday August 12, 1:40 pm ET


Stock Symbol: SGF: TSX-VEN Shore Gold Inc.
SASKATOON, SK, Aug. 12 /CNW/ - George H. Read, P. Geo., Senior Vice President Exploration, is pleased to announce the fourth set of diamond recoveries from the Star Kimberlite. These results are for six kimberlite batches of a total of some 80 to 100 kimberlite batches that will be processed as part of the bulk sampling program on the Star Diamond Project, the aim of which is to recover a parcel of some 3,000 carats for valuation purposes. A total of 1,463 commercial sized diamonds (greater than 1.18 millimetre square mesh screen), collectively weighing 223.6 carats, has been recovered from the treatment of 1,256 dry tonnes of kimberlite. Thirty-two diamonds greater than one carat have been recovered and the four largest stones are: 8.12, 7.85, 6.54 and 5.53 carats, respectively. In addition, 163 diamonds (2.6 carats) were recovered down to 0.85 millimetre square mesh. The colour of over 81 percent of these diamonds has been classified as white, with a further 12 percent classified as off-white.
These kimberlite batches have been mined from the Southeast drive (Batches 15B, 16A, 16B, 17 and 19) and the North drive (Batch 18) developed from the 235 metre shaft station, which is within the Early Joli Fou equivalent kimberlite. Results to date have shown that higher diamond grades are associated with the Early Joli Fou equivalent kimberlite than with the Late Joli Fou equivalent kimberlite. The relationships between these two kimberlites types are illustrated in cross sections available on the Shore Gold website: www.shoregold.com. To date, some 16,500 tonnes of kimberlite have been extracted from Star as part of the bulk sampling program.

Batches 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D and 8E (Shaft) and Batch 20 (from 235 metre level) have all been processed on-site and the concentrates dispatched to the sorting laboratory for final diamond recovery. Results from these batches are pending. All batches processed to date are classified as crater facies volcaniclastic kimberlites.

Kimberlite processed and diamond results for six sample batches are listed in the table below. Grades are expressed in carats per hundred tonnes (cpht).

The four largest stones are: 8.12 (Batch 16A, White), 7.85 (Batch 15B,
Off White), 6.54 (Batch 15B, White) and 5.53 (Batch 15B, Yellow) carats,
respectively. Fifteen diamonds exceed two carats and 32 diamonds exceed one
carat, of which 21 are white, 4 are off-white, 4 are brown, 2 are yellow and 1
is grey. A total of 73 diamonds exceed 0.5 carat. Over 81 percent of the total
diamond parcel is classified white in colour, with a further 12 percent
classified as off-white. The diamond parcel includes 11 yellow, 2 pink and 8
amber stones. Over 98 percent of the carat weight of this parcel occurs in
diamonds greater than 1.18 millimetre square mesh.
Senior Vice President Exploration, George Read, states: "The samples
processed to date have produced a significant number of large diamonds. The
abundance of large, quality stones in the Star diamond population will have a
highly positive affect on the economics of the Star Kimberlite".
The diamond recovery procedure includes on site processing of kimberlite
through the modular dense media separator (DMS), after which DMS concentrates
are batch fed through an X-ray Flow-sort. In order to ensure the recovery of
low luminosity diamonds, the Flow-sort tailings are processed over a grease
table. Flow-sort and grease table concentrates are transported by a secure
carrier to SGS Lakefield Research for final diamond recovery. The SGS
Lakefield Research process includes drying, screening, magnetic separation,
manual sorting and diamond weighing and description. SGS Lakefield Research is
accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard by the Standards Council of Canada as
a testing laboratory for specific tests.
Senior Vice President Exploration, George Read, Professional Geoscientist
in the Provinces of Saskatchewan and British Columbia, is the Qualified Person
responsible for the verification and quality assurance of analytical results.
The Star Diamond Project is designed to recover a parcel of at least
3,000 carats of diamonds to enable an accurate valuation of the stones. Up to
25,000 tonnes of kimberlite will be recovered from the shaft and drifts and
processed on site to produce this diamond parcel. Shore is a Canadian based

Editorial: Iraq burning / Why are we still there?
Tuesday, August 10, 2004

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

The now five-day-long battle between American and Iraqi forces for the city of Najaf continues, the Iraqi death toll from it rises to an estimated 360 and the Shiite holy city comes increasingly to resemble Three Rivers Stadium the morning after the implosion.

A question becomes more nagging: Are Iraqis, in fact, better off with their America-brought freedom than they were under Saddam Hussein?

The United States has taken great pains not to tabulate the death toll of Iraqis since the invasion in March of last year. It has nonetheless been estimated by other observers to stand between 10,000 and 15,000. American forces' losses now number 931, those of other countries, 123.

Saddam Hussein's regime killed a lot of people, mostly Kurds and Shiites, but the death toll it exacted from the Iraqi people tailed off after it had put down the unsuccessful Shiite and Kurd rebellions that followed the first Gulf war 12 years ago. American and British enforcement of no-fly zones in the north and south helped.

The damage rendered to Iraqi economic and social infrastructure, ranging from oil installations to mosques and other holy sites, particularly in the predominantly Shiite cities of Najaf and Karbala, but also in the Sunni centers of Fallujah and Tikrit, may have by now exceeded what was incurred during the Iran-Iraq war, the first Gulf war and the rebellions.

Some of it has been Iraqi-on-Iraqi destruction, but there is almost nothing that can match the impact of U.S. high-tech attacks, particularly from the air, in terms of inflicting damage.

A recent unfortunate phenomenon of the 15-month U.S. occupation and appointed Iraqi interim authority period has been the outflow of Iraq's Christian minority from the country. They are at increasing risk in the deteriorating security situation and menaced in a now more politicized religious context by militant Islamic extremists, domestic and foreign, Shiite and Sunni.

So, basically, one can argue that the United States has not in fact brought freedom to Iraq. It has brought instead death, destruction and now near-chaos, including forcing Christians who have lived there since the time of Christ to flee the country to Syria, Jordan and Lebanon.

Forget as reasons for the war weapons of mass destruction, Iraqi support of al-Qaida terrorists and even increased oil supplies. And is Israel really safer with a hot war being waged a few hundred miles from its borders and the Arab world thoroughly riled up over that war?

So why do we stay? The place now called Iraq has been there in one form or other since the dawn of recorded history. Does anyone think the situation there will get better if we stay? Or that it will become substantially worse if we leave? Is our presence not in fact increasingly the bone of contention among warring Iraqis?

Sen. John Kerry and President Bush need to think very carefully about that central question -- stay or get out -- as they as presidential candidates consider and suggest what the United States should do next.

CMKM Diamonds, Inc. Converges on Saskatchewan Drill Target

THURSDAY , AUGUST 05, 2004 01:51 AM

LAS VEGAS, Aug 5, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CMKM Diamonds, Inc. (Pink
Sheets:CMKX) has received all necessary drilling permits and Surface Exploration
Permits to mobilize its drilling equipment to a new site located approximately 5
miles northwest of Kensington-DeBeers Kimberlite 122 and 6 1/2 miles northwest
of Shore Gold Inc.'s Star Diamond Project in the Forte a La Corne, Saskatchewan.
The drill site partnership includes Shane Resources (SEI.H-)CDNX, United Carina
Resources Corp. (UCA.)CDNX, Consolidated Pine Channel Gold Corp. (KPG) CDNX, and
U.S. Canadian Minerals, Inc. (OTCBB:UCAD). All the partners shall have
representation at the drill site at time of drilling. As with all CMKX drill
sites, CEO and President Urban Casavant has ordered this drilling project to be
video recorded for the CMKX website for viewing to the CMKX shareholders.



"The Company feels that this target in the Fort a La Corne area has great
potential," states CEO and President Urban Casavant, "not only because of its
location on the same northwest trend of Kimberlites in the Fort a La Corne area
of Saskatchewan, but also because the target was outlined by a geophysical
method known as a Time-Domain Electro Magnetic Survey." This type of survey
measures the resistively of the rock. Such surveys have been very helpful in the
discovery of kimberlites in the hac de Gras area of Canada, where currently two
mines are producing 15% of the world's diamonds. This will be the Company's
first such target to be drill tested in the Fort a La Corne area. President
Casavant continues, "With an additional 37,800 hectares acquired this week to
the over-all land holdings of CMKX in the Saskatchewan area, CMKX is moving
rapidly into the expansion of additional equipment and manpower for the rapid
discovery work ahead of us." Casavant went on to explain, "With our site target
among other exploration discoveries such as Shore Gold's Star Diamond Project in
the Forte a La Corne, Saskatchewan area, which recently yielded a 19.71 carat
diamond, as well as 33 diamonds larger than one carat, the opportunity for our
shareholders continue to expand as we set our sights on the discoveries ahead."

U.S. Treasuries fall as Fed adamant about growth



By Pedro Nicolaci da Costa

NEW YORK, Aug 10 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury debt prices
slipped on Tuesday after the Federal Reserve raised interest
rates a quarter-percentage point, but stuck to its message that
recent weakness in the economy was a temporary phenomenon.

Showing unremitting confidence about the nation's growth
prospects despite dismal July employment data, the central bank
said the U.S. economy was poised for a stronger pace of
expansion ahead.

That caught bond traders off guard since many had been
expecting the Fed to soften its commitment to tightening
monetary policy in the face of worsening economic conditions.

"This is negative for the market because the Fed said that
even after these actions, policy is easy," said Joseph
LaVorgna, senior U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank. "That's a
hint that all else being equal, they are still leaning toward
another move in September."

Bonds took the hint, with the benchmark 10-year note
<US10YT=RR> sliding 5/32 in price, lifting its yield to 4.28
percent from 4.26 percent late Monday.

On Friday, yields hit a four-month low of 4.16 percent
after a surprisingly weak July jobs report radically changed
market expectations for future monetary tightening.

As expected, the Fed raised its benchmark federal funds
rate to 1.5 percent from 1.25 percent, the second hike this
year. The central bank acknowledged that the labor market had
slowed, but linked the deterioration in large part to soaring
energy prices.

On Tuesday, U.S. crude futures hit a fresh record high of
$45.04 a barrel, the highest price in the 21 years that oil
futures have been traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

To the dismay of bond bulls, the Fed focused on price
stability rather than economic growth in the last part of its
statement.

The current five-year note <US5YT=RR> was down 7/32 in
price, sending its yield up to 3.48 percent from 3.43 percent
on Monday. Last month, the five-year note yielded as much as
3.87 percent.

In a major flattening of the yield curve, the two-year note
<US2YT=RR> lost a hefty 4/32, leaving its yield at 2.52 percent
compared with 2.44 percent on Monday. By contrast, the 30-year
bond <US30YT=RR> rose 5/32, lowering its yield to 5.05 percent
from 5.06 percent.

Looking forward, the market still had to digest another $29
billion of new supply this week, with five-year notes due on
Wednesday and a 10-year offering the day after.

The day's economic data were overshadowed by the Fed
meeting and had little impact on the market, traders said.

U.S. nonfarm business productivity rose a
higher-than-expected 2.9 percent in the second quarter,
suggesting firms were still able to expand production without
taking on many more workers.

Unit labor costs also turned higher and, if sustained,
could eventually feed through to core inflation. On the other
hand, inflation was already high enough to eat into worker
compensation, which rose just 0.1 percent in real terms.

With incomes barely matching inflation, it could be harder
for U.S. consumers to keep spending at the furious pace of
recent years. There was a hint of this in the latest chain
store sales data, which showed a sluggish start to August.

Meanwhile, the IBD/TIPP survey of consumer optimism index
for August showed a slight 0.4-point gain to 57.7, though the
report cautioned that the July jobs numbers could hurt
sentiment going forward.

The four largest stones are: 19.71 (Batch 14, White), 7.48 (Batch 12, White), 5.61 (Batch 14, Off-white) and 4.67 (Batch 13, White) carats, respectively. Thirteen diamonds exceed two carats and 33 diamonds exceed one carat, of which 21 are white, 7 are off-white, 2 are brown, 1 is yellow, 1 is amber, and 1 is grey. A total of 74 diamonds exceed 0.5 carat. Over 80 percent of the total diamond parcel is classified white in colour, with a further 13 percent classified as off-white. The diamond parcel includes 25 yellow, 10 pink and 7 amber stones. Over 98 percent of the carat weight of this parcel occurs in diamonds greater than 1.18 millimetre square mesh. These results support what appears to be a fundamental diamond grade difference between the Early (Batches 12, 13, 14 and 15A) and Late (Batch 4) Joli Fou equivalent kimberlites. All results to date exhibit higher grades for samples from the Early Joli Fou kimberlites.

Shore Gold Inc. - Star Diamond Project - 19.7 carat diamond recovered in 230 carat parcel
7/29/04

SASKATOON, SK, Jul 29, 2004 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --
George H. Read, P. Geo., Senior Vice President Exploration, is pleased to announce that the third set of diamond recoveries from the Star Kimberlite includes the largest diamond yet discovered in Saskatchewan. These results are for five kimberlite batches of a total of some 80 to 100 kimberlite batches that will be processed as part of the bulk sampling program on the Star Diamond Project, the aim of which is to recover a parcel of some 3,000 carats for valuation purposes. A total of 1,459 commercial sized diamonds (greater than 1.18 millimetre square mesh screen), collectively weighing 227.6 carats, has been recovered from the treatment of 1,572.6 dry tonnes of kimberlite. Thirty-three diamonds greater than one carat have been recovered and the four largest stones are: 19.71, 7.48, 5.61, 4.67 carats, respectively. In addition, 180 diamonds (3.1 carats) were recovered down to 0.85 millimetre square mesh. The colour of over 80 percent of these diamonds has been classified as white, with a further 13 percent classified as off-white.
These kimberlite batches have been mined from two areas:

1.) Kimberlite from the upper part of the shaft (Batch 4), which is consistent with Late Joli Fou equivalent kimberlite. 2.) Kimberlite from the Southeast drive (Batches 12, 13, 14, and 15A), developed from the 235 metre shaft station, which is within the Early Joli Fou equivalent kimberlite.
The Star Kimberlite consists predominantly of two stratigraphically defined kimberlite types: the Early Joli Fou equivalent kimberlite and the Late Joli Fou equivalent kimberlite. Results to date indicate that significantly higher diamond grades are associated with the Early Joli Fou equivalent kimberlite. Present kimberlite volume estimates, based on drilling, underground mapping and whole rock geochemistry, suggest that the higher grade Early Joli Fou kimberlite accounts for at least 80 percent of the volume of the Star Kimberlite while the lower grade Late Joli Fou kimberlite accounts for less than 20 percent of the volume. Cross sections illustrating the relationships of these two major kimberlite types will be available on the Shore Gold website at: www.shoregold.com. The diamond results included in this news release confirm higher diamond grades are associated with the Early Joli Fou equivalent kimberlite. To date, some 14,500 tonnes of kimberlite have been extracted from Star as part of the bulk sampling program.

Batch 8 (Shaft) and Batches 15B, 16A, 16B, 17, 18 and 19 (from 235 metre level) have all been processed on-site and the concentrates dispatched to the sorting laboratory for final diamond recovery. Results from these batches are pending. All batches processed to date are classified as crater facies volcaniclastic kimberlites.

Kimberlite processed and diamond results for five sample batches are listed in the table below. Grades are expressed in carats per hundred tonnes (cpht).

------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diamonds Largest Batch Location Dry Number of Total Grade Stone No. (metres below surface) Tonnes Stones (carats) (cpht) (carats) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 Shaft: 140.6 - 161.5 463.44 147 7.77 1.68 0.39 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12 235 m Level: SE drive 394.27 458 63.00 15.98 7.48 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13 235 m Level: SE drive 350.32 579 68.62 19.59 4.67 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14 235 m Level: SE drive 232.03 275 71.23 30.70 19.71 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15A 235 m Level: SE drive 132.54 180 20.01 15.10 1.67 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 1,572.6 1,639 230.63 14.67 19.71 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
The four largest stones are: 19.71 (Batch 14, White), 7.48 (Batch 12, White), 5.61 (Batch 14, Off-white) and 4.67 (Batch 13, White) carats, respectively. Thirteen diamonds exceed two carats and 33 diamonds exceed one carat, of which 21 are white, 7 are off-white, 2 are brown, 1 is yellow, 1 is amber, and 1 is grey. A total of 74 diamonds exceed 0.5 carat. Over 80 percent of the total diamond parcel is classified white in colour, with a further 13 percent classified as off-white. The diamond parcel includes 25 yellow, 10 pink and 7 amber stones. Over 98 percent of the carat weight of this parcel occurs in diamonds greater than 1.18 millimetre square mesh. These results support what appears to be a fundamental diamond grade difference between the Early (Batches 12, 13, 14 and 15A) and Late (Batch 4) Joli Fou equivalent kimberlites. All results to date exhibit higher grades for samples from the Early Joli Fou kimberlites.

Senior Vice President Exploration, George Read, states: "We are most encouraged that the kimberlite grade and stone size continue to improve and that our recent kimberlite volume calculations have shown that the higher grade Early Joli Fou kimberlite accounts for approximately 80 percent of Star".

The diamond recovery procedure includes on site processing of kimberlite through the modular dense media separator (DMS), after which DMS concentrates are batch fed through an X-ray Flow-sort. In order to ensure the recovery of low luminosity diamonds, the Flow-sort tailings are processed over a grease table. Flow-sort and grease table concentrates are transported by a secure carrier to SGS Lakefield Research for final diamond recovery. The SGS Lakefield Research process includes drying, screening, magnetic separation, manual sorting and diamond weighing and description. SGS Lakefield Research is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard by the Standards Council of Canada as a testing laboratory for specific tests.

Grease table tailings and samples of the DMS light fraction have been sent to Rio Tinto's Thunder Bay Mineral Processing Laboratory for audit. These tailings fractions will be audited for both free and locked diamonds down to 0.85 millimetre square mesh. The audit process includes screening, drying, magnetic separation, crushing and manual sorting. Grease table tailings audits for free diamonds have been completed for Batch 1 and Batch 6. Low diamond recoveries from the audit samples confirm the integrity of the processing plant. Most of the diamonds recovered from the audits are small (1.18 - 1.70 millimetre square mesh) and poor quality (brown or grey in colour). Audit sample processing continues and results will be integrated with final results. The Thunder Bay Mineral Processing Laboratory is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard by the Standards Council of Canada as a testing laboratory for specific tests.

Senior Vice President Exploration, George Read, Professional Geoscientist in the Provinces of Saskatchewan and British Columbia, is the Qualified Person responsible for the verification and quality assurance of analytical results.

The Star Diamond Project is designed to recover a parcel of at least 3,000 carats of diamonds to enable an accurate valuation of the stones. Up to 25,000 tonnes of kimberlite will be recovered from the shaft and drifts and processed on site to produce this diamond parcel. Shore is a Canadian based corporation engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.

Not trading on inside info. Jim. Just willing to consider a bigger framework for things and there is SO much out there pointing to excellent intrinsic value that it's worth the risks to me. I know "intrinsic value" is still hard to clearly define at this point but there's just too much potential here to not take the risk, for me personally.

ACREAGE: 2.1 million now total I believe, more land available than any other Canadian mining company!

MINERALS: Gold, Zinc, Copper, Uranium, Platinum, Potash, Possibly Paladium
JV PARTNERSHIPS with surrounding land claim owners = Team work=Motivation amongst all players.

TIMING: This IS THE BEST time EVER in the history of mining to buy into diamond mining stocks due to the increased discoveries and production occuring in North America/ mainly Canada. "CANADIAN CORNUCOPIA" (as Catman calls it)

LAWYER: R.Glenn, a "MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS" lawyer, best of the best is helping to align everything for CMKX! Even some the best skeptics say this is enough to keep them in the game, alone

EMPIRE! Being built very meticulously.

Oh, I think we know how long this list could go and I'm staying real basic in my approach here but there are enough good posts in the archives here as well as on other related boards to help people form their own opinions and investment strategies.
Me, I'm still buying low and adding to my position and taking advantage of this low tide but mark my words, High Tide is almost here!!!
JMO of course! I COULD be wrong. ;)

Interesting...

that this little company is, in fact, SO CLOSE to SHORE, Kensington and De Beers...and that there has been so little discussion of the HUGE ( 20 Carats...largest taken in SASK ) Diamonds taken by SHORE just a a week ago.....

+ 13,100% increase in PPS based on 15 Kimberlites!!!

The above actually happened in the early 1990's over the course of 24 months. The stock was Dia Met Minerals Ltd., which had the honour of discovering what became Canada's first diamond mine, Ekati, in the Lac de Gras region some 300 km northeast of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Before the discovery, in June 1991 the stock was trading at $ 0.50; however, 24 months l ater the price was $66.00 per share - a 13,100% gain or a gain of 131 times. The $66.00 high was on news of bulk sampling results from four additional kimberlite diamond pipes discovered. The total number of kimberlites discovered had also increased from one to 15 at that time.

From the PDF file at http://www.tsodiloresources.com/i/pdf/Anatomy_RWM_Issue3_Basic.pdf titled: ANATOMY OF A STOCK MARKET WINNER by James Dartnell, CIM, F.C.S.I. (Why would anyone want to buy a penny mining stock? How about a 13,100%).

Humming a song ...

from 1962........Thanks for all bit...luck

This is what your government has gotten you into....against everyone's advice....young soldiers are dying as we speak...there is nothing to win and no way to win it... we have been sold down the pike...again.....

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Coalition forces battled militiamen loyal to radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr in several Iraqi cities Friday, saying they killed about 300 militants in Najaf over two days of fighting. Battles in other Shiite areas of the country have killed dozens more, according to Iraqi authorities.



The death toll among the anti-coalition fighters was among the largest in a single continuing engagement since the end of the war to oust Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) last year.


Two U.S. Marines and an American soldier were killed in Najaf on Thursday, and 12 troops were wounded, the military said. Fifteen U.S. soldiers were wounded in Baghdad.


In Najaf, 100 miles south of Baghdad, U.S. helicopters on Friday attacked militants hiding in a cemetery near the Imam Ali Shrine in the old city at Najaf's center, where smoke could be seen rising. The fighting began Thursday in Najaf and has since spread to other Shiite areas across the country, as the truce that marked an end to a similar rebellion two months ago appeared to have been shattered.


Al-Sadr blamed the United States for the violence in Iraq (news - web sites) in a sermon read on his behalf Friday in the Kufa Mosque close to Najaf.


The interim government had called America "our partner," he said. "I say America is our enemy and the enemy of the people, and we will not accept its partnership."


Regardless, al-Sadr's aides called Friday for a return to the truce. They asked for the United Nations (news - web sites) and Iraq's interim government to stop the violence.


"From our side we did not want to escalate the situation, because the situation in Najaf affects that of other Shiite areas," Mahmoud al-Sudani, a spokesman of al-Sadr in Baghdad, told reporters. "But the actions of the American troops have enraged the sons of these cities."


But the government said Friday it would not tolerate independent militias, including the Mahdi Army.


The militias "are considered criminal and terrorist groups that we do not condone and that we will fight," said Georges Sada, spokesman for interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi. "We will fight them and will not allow their criminal actions in the various cities, irrespective of who they are or how big they are."


In April, the Mahdi Army militia launched sustained attacks on U.S. and coalition troops in several cities, the first major Shiite violence against the Americans. The confrontation dragged on for two months until Iraqi politicians and religious leaders negotiated a series of truces.


Each side blamed the other for breaking the cease-fire. The U.S. military accused the militants of repeatedly attacking police in Najaf, and al-Sadr loyalists accused U.S. forces of surrounding the cleric's house Monday.


Some of the worst violence hit the Baghdad neighborhood of Sadr City, where the Health Ministry said 19 people were killed and 111 wounded during fighting Thursday and early Friday between U.S. troops and al-Sadr militants. Separate attacks blamed on al-Sadr's followers wounded 15 American soldiers in Baghdad.


Militiamen also seized four police stations in Amarah, 180 miles southeast of Baghdad, witnesses said.


On Friday, helicopter gunships pounded militant positions in Najaf, while Italian soldiers exchanged gunfire with militants who attacked their positions and a police station in the southern city of Nasiriyah, an Italian military spokesman said. Clashes also were reported Friday between U.S. troops and insurgents north of the capital in Samarra.


In the Najaf cemetery, gunfire and explosions rang out as U.S. soldiers and Iraqi policemen advanced toward the area, witnesses said. The streets were otherwise deserted and shops were closed.


"The area near the (Imam Ali Shrine) is being subjected to a war," said Ahmed al-Shaibany, an official with al-Sadr's office in Najaf. "Najaf is being subjected to ... total destruction.





"We call on the Islamic world and the civilized world to save the city."

The U.S. military has accused the militants of hiding in the shrine compound to avoid retaliation by U.S. forces. It had no comment on Friday's clashes.

Smoke billowed over parts of Najaf as roadside stalls burned. Many shops were closed, the streets were nearly deserted and a woman's body lay abandoned on an empty sidewalk, according to Associated Press Television News footage.

"We estimate we've killed 300 anti-Iraqi forces in the past two days of fighting," said Capt. Carrie Batson, a Marine spokeswoman.

Battles in Najaf have killed at least 13 civilians and wounded 58 others over two days, according to Najaf General Hospital officials.

The U.S. military said two Marines, one soldier and seven militants were killed Thursday in and around Najaf. At least 921 U.S. service members have died since the beginning of military operations in Iraq in March 2003, according to the Defense Department.

In Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, guerrillas attacked a convoy of 10 U.S. Humvees at dawn, witnesses said. U.S. helicopters fired rockets at insurgent positions, and the U.S. convoy pulled out.

In the southern city of Nasiriyah, assailants attacked Italian troops with automatic weapons, an Italian military spokesman said on condition of anonymity. They also attacked a police station, prompting the local governor to call for Italian military assistance, he said. There were no coalition casualties, the spokesman said.

The fighting, which lasted until dawn Friday, killed eight Iraqis, including five militants, and wounded 13 others, according to AbdelKhuder al-Tahir, a senior Interior Ministry official.

"Today, the city is more stable. Policemen and National Guard are in control of government buildings on one side of the city, while Italian forces are in control of the other side. Some of al-Sadr's followers are moving in the center of the city, but the rest of the city is under our control," he said.

A coalition base near Najaf, Camp Golf, was hit by mortar fire early Friday, while rounds fired at a base housing Ukrainian troops missed their target, a Polish military spokesman said. No one was hurt.

Tensions also ran high in the southern city of Basra, where British troops clashed Thursday with the Mahdi Army. Violence there killed five al-Sadr fighters, said As'ad al-Basri, an al-Sadr official in the city.

Meanwhile, Lebanese officials said four citizens working as truck drivers are missing in Iraq, bringing to five the number of Lebanese citizens either unaccounted for or held captive by insurgents. A Foreign Ministry official said the government was trying to learn if the four were kidnapped.
