WORLD « Shiite militants battle U.S. forces in Baghdad BAGHDAD, Iraq — Shiite militants and U.S. forces battled throughout the Baghdad slum of Sadr City, and a mortar barrage slammed into a busy neighborhood in the capital in a new wave of violence Saturday that killed at least five people and wounded dozens of others. U.S. warplanes and tanks later bombarded targets in Sunni stronghold of Fallujah, and U.S. forces exchanged gunfire with insurgents along the city’s eastern outskirts and the main highway running to neighboring Jordan, witnesses said. The fighting left at least 14 people injured, hospital officials said. Traces of explosive found on 2nd plane MOSCOW — Russian investigators found explosive residue on the wreckage of the second of two airliners that crashed minutes apart, a security spokesman said Saturday. The high explosive hexogen was found on the Tu-134 airliner that went down Tuesday south of Moscow, said a spokesman for the Federal Security Service, Russia’s domestic security agency. Traces of the same explosive were found on the Tu-154 jetliner that crashed near Rostov in southwestern Russia, officials said Friday. The two planes took off from the same terminal at Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport and went off radar screens within minutes of each other hundreds of miles apart on different routes. Love says court case reflects past self LOS ANGELES — Rocker Courtney Love said her well publicized court hearings reflect a life she led months ago — not where she is now. “The court cases are like a lagging indicator in economics,” Love told the Los Angeles Times. “They show where I was, not where I am. ... I’m doing OK. I’m doing well, as a matter of fact. It’s so stupid, but I even enjoyed the martyrdom.” In her latest court appearance on Aug. 20, Love pleaded not guilty to a felony assault charge for allegedly attacking a woman with a liquor bottle at her ex boyfriend’s home in April. In July, she was sentenced to 18 months in a drug rehabilitation program after pleading guilty to being under the influence of a controlled substance — a misdemeanor. Love also faces a Sept. 30 trial on felony charges for illegal possession of painkillers. And in New York City, she faces charges for allegedly striking a fan with a microphone stand at a club in March. Love, the widow of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain, was formerly the lead singer of the band Hole. She had to delay a concert tour with her new band this year because of her legal problems. Joliet prison to star in thriller ‘Derailed’ JOLIET, III. — It was featured in movie classics such as “The Sting” and “The Blues Brothers,” and now another major motion picture will film scenes at the former Joliet Correctional Center. Portions of “Derailed,” a thriller starring Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston, are scheduled to be filmed this fall in Joliet, located about 40 miles south of Chicago. The movie is about an advertising executive whose life turns upside down after he misses his train to work. Owen, who recently starred in “King Arthur,” will be in town when a prison sequence is filmed, said Joe Amari, senior location scout for the Illinois Film Office. It is unlikely Aniston, of TV’s “Friends,” will be in Joliet, Amari said. The Joliet prison closed in 2002 after 144 years. Film officials say having the vacant' prison cjose to Chicago could be a good draw for other movies, since many other empty jails are either too decrepit or remote to be practical. “The moviemakers love it. It has a prison look to it that they really like, and they’re very impressed with how flexible the (Illinois) Department of Corrections has been in accommodating them,” said film office director Brenda Sexton.
