Any American troops remaining in Iraq after the end of the year will be attacked, according to Muqtada al-Sadr, the nationalist Shia cleric whose movement has previously fought to end the US occupation. He said that military operations by his Mehdi Army militia against US troops will be suspended to give them no excuse to remain beyond 31 December as was agreed by US and Iraq in 2008.

It was the day that changed the world for ever. Or did it? Ten years on, two leading commentators, Jason Burke and Francis Fukuyama, offer an analysis of its long-term impact, and how terrorism worksFrancis Fukuyama: The legacy of that terrible time will be less significant than we then feared In the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks, there were grand assertions that "everything was different" and that the "world had changed." We were forced to confront a bearded man in a cave spouting incomprehensible invective about crusaders and jihad, and reorient foreign policy in dramatic ways. But with 10 years' hindsight, did the world actually change on that date? And what will Osama bin Laden's historical legacy be? The answer to both questions is: not much. It is my view that in a longer historical perspective, al-Qaida will be seen as a mere blip or diversion. Bin Laden got lucky that day and pulled off a devastating, made-for-media attack. The United States then........

The Eleventh Day by Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan; The 9/11 Wars by Jason Burke; Granta 116: Ten Years Later edited by John Freeman A few weeks before the shock warriors of Osama bin Laden's terrorist network pulled off their most murderous stunt, the acting head of the FBI was trying to get his nation's attorney general to focus on the looming danger facing the US. He didn't get very far. "I don't want to hear about that anymore," responded John Ashcroft, one of the most unimpressive figures in an administration overfilled with inadequates, incompetents and ideologues. "I don't want you to ever talk to me about al-Qaida, about these threats. I don't want to hear about al-Qaida anymore." With that display of insouciance he headed off on a fishing holiday – though he took a chartered jet rather than a commercial flight because of the high state of alert. His president, meanwhile, travelled to Italy for a summit with anti-aircraft guns lining the runway, airspace closed and.......

Ten years after the attacks on New York and Washington, we asked six writers to look back at a decade of change and conflict. What can fiction tell us about 9/11? How do you mark an anniversary like 9/11? How do you examine what has changed and what has not in the 10 years since destruction was visited on New York and Washington out of a clear, blue sky? How do you reflect on the lives lost and the lies told in the course of what Pankaj Mishra calls our "low, dishonest decade"? Over the last 10 years, this newspaper has charted the shock, the reverberations and the legacy of those events, but the effect on our imagination – on how we perceive the world – is perhaps as important to determine. Here on the books desk, we felt an attempt should be made through fiction. When we started commissioning these stories we didn't ask for stories about the day itself – in the years since, we've already heard quite a bit from New York. This time, 10 years on, we wanted to trace the ripples...

MP among at least 29 killed as suicide bomber detonates explosives inside Sunni mosque in Baghdad.

Iraqi officials say Khalid al-Fahdawi, a Sunni member of the Iraqi parliament, was among those confirmed dead A suicide bomber blew himself up inside Baghdad's largest Sunni mosque last night, killing 29 people during prayers, in a strike on a place of worship similar to the one that brought Iraq to the brink of civil war five years ago. Iraqi security officials said Iraqi parliament member Khalid al-Fahdawi, a Sunni, was among the dead in the attack. Major General Qassim al-Moussawi, a spokesman for Baghdad's military operations command, confirmed the bombing happened inside the Um al-Qura mosque during prayers in the western Baghdad neighbourhood of al-Jamiah. The blue-domed building is the largest Sunni mosque in Baghdad. "I heard something like a very severe wind storm, with smoke and darkness, and shots by the guards," said eyewitness Mohammad Mustafa. No group immediately claimed responsibility for Sunday's bombing, but suicide attacks generally are a hallmark of........

Tensions between Iraq and Kuwait appear to have escalated to violence after several rockets struck the border area between the two countries, where a controversial new mega-port project is under construction.

Iraqi lawmaker among those killed as suicide bomber detonates explosives inside Sunni mosque in the capital.

Ed Stoppard was impressive as the lawyer who dared to put the Führer in the dock in The Man Who Crossed Hitler, while The Hour came to a satisfying close The Man Who Crossed Hitler (BBC2) | iPlayer Hans Litten vs Adolf Hitler: To Stop a Tyrant (BBC2) | iPlayer Random (Channel 4) | 4oD American: The Bill Hicks Story (BBC4) | iPlayer The Hour (BBC2) | iPlayer For all its virtue as an attention-grabber, any play called The Man Who Crossed Hitler – a story based on true events – was bound to struggle with the weight of dramatic irony. However much you wondered who this man was, you didn't have to wonder if things would end well for him. This was the tragedy of Hans Litten, a smart young Berlin lawyer who, in 1931, hauled Germany's raging Führer-to-be into court for an afternoon of impudent questioning, in particular to have him explain the apparent confusion in Nazi party policy between his own recently sworn disavowal of violence and the activities of the city's gangs of.......

Warplanes kill seven civilians in strike against suspected Kurdish separatist targets in northern Iraq, officials say.

Turkish jets pound PKK targets during cross-border raids into northern Iraq in retaliation for ambush Turkish warplanes have pounded a string of Kurdish rebel targets during cross-border raids into northern Iraq in apparent retaliation for an ambush on Turkish forces. The jets hit 60 suspected rebel targets in the mountainous region near the border with Turkey late on Wednesday as well as targets on Mount Qandil, along the Iraqi-Iranian border, where leaders of the rebel group Kurdistan Workers' party, or PKK, are believed to be hiding. In a statement, the military vowed to continue its attacks until the guerrilla group is "rendered ineffective". Turkish and Kurdish media had reported that Turkey sent jets into northern Iraq on Wednesday, hours after eight soldiers and a village guard were killed in an ambush by the autonomy-seeking guerrillas on a road near the border with Iraq. Officials did not confirm the raids until Thursday. Many PKK fighters shelter in the mountains of..

Series of deadly explosions rip through cities across the country, ending period of relative calm during holy month of Ramadan Bomb blasts ripped through more than a dozen Iraqi cities on Monday morning, killing 56 people in a wave of violence that shattered what had been a relatively peaceful holy month of Ramadan. The violence struck from the northern city of Kirkuk to Baghdad and the southern Shia cities of Najaf, Kut and Karbala. The devices used included a combination of parked car bombs, roadside bombs and a suicide bomber driving a vehicle that rammed into a police station. The scale of the violence – seven explosions occurred in several towns in Diyala province alone – highlight the ability of insurgents to carry out attacks despite repeated crackdowns by Iraqi and US forces. Thirty-five people were killed in the southern city of Kut, 100 miles south-east of Baghdad, where construction workers were gathered in a market selling appliances. A police spokesman,........

The suicide attack, which also resulted in wounding 14 other people, happened in Khan Bani Saad, about 30 km northeast of Baghdad.

Blasts in city south-east of Baghdad wound at least 60 people Two explosions have hit a crowded market in a city south-east of Baghdad, killing 34 people. The blasts in Kut, 100 miles from Baghdad, went off as construction workers were gathered in a market selling generators and other appliances. A police spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Dhurgam Muhammad Hassan, said the first bomb went off in a freezer. Then, as rescuers and onlookers gathered round, a car bomb exploded. According to the region's top medical official, Diaa al-Aboudi, 34 people died in the explosion. Hassan put the number of the wounded from the blasts at 60. The Kut explosions were the first major act of violence since Iraq's political leaders earlier this month announced that they would begin negotiations with the US over whether to keep a small number of American forces in the country past 31 December. All US forces are to leave the country by the end of this year but both Iraqi and US officials have........

Thirty-three years after defeat, Diana Nyad is back to swim from Cuba to Florida. Her example helps us face our disappointments I thought I'd never fall for a hope-peddler again, but I am rooting for Diana Nyad. The world record-holding distance swimmer dove into the waters off Cuba at dusk on Sunday night. Her destination: Florida. One hundred and three miles, at least 60 hours and a shark-infested ocean away. Nyad turns 62 in a few weeks. "It's not about sports; it's about hope," she's said. It's also about conquering her own demons. In 1978, at age 28, she tried the Havana to Key West swim for the first time, and her doctors pulled her out of the water after 42 hours and about 76 miles. High winds were buffeting her off course. This time, the water's calm, the weather's temperate. Eighteen hours on, CNN's Matt Sloane reported that Nyad was fine, except for a bit of "shoulder pain and a touch of asthma". Dang! It's what Nyad calls her "extreme dream", and, as I said, I'm..

The readers' editor on… criticism of our coverage of the massacre in Norway The killings in Norway have prompted a few serious concerns among readers about the nature of the coverage. As the world struggles to come to terms with the deaths of 77 people in a bomb and shooting attack, how far should early analysis go in searching for likely causes? One reader wrote: "My first issue is with your lack of transparency. Before it was clear who orchestrated the attacks, you published an article that strongly suggested Islamist groups were responsible. This article … has since been entirely reworded [with the headline changing from] 'Suspicion falls on Islamist groups' to 'Norway attacks suggest political motive' … The Guardian did not admit an earlier mistake but sought to act as though the original article had never happened … " The reporting and analysis of a developing news event involves updating as you learn more about what happened.

Ten years on from the 9/11 attacks, the project to rebuild New York's World Trade Centre site is still riven by political and professional infighting This 11 September, exactly 10 years after the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre fell, politicians and relatives of the victims will gather in a grove of 415 trees planted on the event's charged ground. Two huge cascades of water, each occupying the square footprint of one of towers, will start churning, ceaselessly, forever. Inscribed in a bronze strip surrounding the cascades will be the names of those killed in the 9/11 attacks, including those at the Pentagon and on United flight 93, which crashed in a field in Pennsylvania, as this is the national 9/11 memorial, not just New York's. The memorial will be ready, just, although it will be accessible only by advance booking for another two years. It could not miss this deadline. Despite billions of public dollars, thousands of ideas for memorials and rebuilding, a shared public..

Fifteen US troops killed in June, the highest toll in two years, with latest strike blamed on Iranian-backed militia A rocket attack on a US base near Iraq's border with Iran has killed three American soldiers, according to an official who blamed the strike on a Shia militia linked to Tehran. The deaths came at the end of the bloodiest month for US troops in Iraq in two years, and with six months before the American military is scheduled to leave after more than eight years of war. Wednesday's rocket attack struck a US base in southern Iraq that is located a few miles from Iran, the official said, saying the Iranian link was evident from the type of rockets used. American intelligence officials believe the Iranian-backed Kataib Hezbollah, or Hezbollah Brigades, is one of the only militias to use weapons known in military jargon as Irams, or improvised rocket-assisted mortars, against US troops. They are made in Iran. Kataib Hezbollah has links to the Lebanon-based Hezbollah....

WikiLeaks founder defends organisation in his first formal public appearance since being arrested over sexual assault allegations WikiLeaks is more accountable than democratically elected governments because it accepts donations from members of the public, Julian Assange has claimed, in his first formal public appearance since being arrested in December following accusations of rape and sexual assault. Questioned at a public debate about the whistleblowing organisation's own transparency, Assange told an audience of 700 people, many of them supporters: "We are directly supported on a week-to-week basis by you. You vote with your wallets every week if you believe that our work is worthwhile or not. If you believe we have erred, you do not support us. If you believe we need to be protected in our work, you keep us strong. "That dynamic feedback, I say, is more responsive than a government that is elected after sourcing money from big business every four years." The WikiLeaks...

Iraqi forces storm Camp Ashraf, home to 3,500 Iranian exiles, as supporters call on US and UN to intervene Iraqi forces have stormed a camp of Iranian dissidents in north-eastern Iraq amid warnings that the US government may have broken international law by failing to protect the camp.

Driven by Tea Party fervour, the Republican party is demanding deep budget cuts – but a government shutdown carries big risks Months, even weeks, ago it might have been seen as inconceivable. But now, politicians on both sides of the aisle are bracing themselves for the perfect political storm: a showdown over government shutdown. That's right: in a mere matter of weeks, we may be looking at another government shutdown along the lines of 1995, when President Clinton and the Republican-controlled Congress feuded over funding for critical government programmes. The government's current spending authorisation ends on the 4 March and reauthorisation must be granted to avoid a complete shutdown of government, government services and the employment of civil servants. Congress can pass a temporary funding resolution to keep the government operating – something that happened habitually under President Bush, whose demands to fund the Iraq war were frequent. But this time, Republicans......

The use of large bombs are rarely used in Iraq but the insurgents are developing new methods of warfare.

An audience member has hurled his shoes at former Australian Prime Minister John Howard on a TV talk show in protest at his involvement in the Iraq war.

The Iraq war was fought in the name of ­civilised values and ­common decency. The British and Americans presented themselves as the good guys, bringing ­democracy and the rule of law and ­humanity to a ­dysfunctional country ruled by a lunatic ­genocidal tyrant.

Saddam Hussein’s many crimes against humanity, including his brutal ­persecution of the Shia ­population and his murder of tens of thousands of Kurds in northern Iraq, were ­repeatedly emphasised by the U.S. and British governments before the invasion, though perhaps sometimes exaggerated.

If this neat contrast between good and evil has already worn pretty thin in the seven-and-a-half years since the invasion of Iraq, it has now finally been blown apart by a massive leak of nearly 400,000 official ­American military ‘field reports’ by WikiLeaks.

I fear, though, that these leaks confirm what most of us already ­recognise. This war was not merely futile. It was wrong and Britain should never have fought it.

Our writer delivers a searing dispatch after the WikiLeaks revelations that expose in detail the brutality of the war in Iraq - and the astonishing, disgraceful deceit of the US

Fresh evidence that US soldiers handed over detainees to a notorious Iraqi torture squad has emerged in army logs published by WikiLeaks.

The 400,000 field reports published by the whistleblowing website at the weekend contain an official account of deliberate threats by a military interrogator to turn his captive over to the Iraqi "Wolf Brigade".

The interrogator told the prisoner in explicit terms that: "He would be subject to all the pain and agony that the Wolf battalion is known to exact upon its detainees."

Iraq's Supreme Court tells parliament it must end a self-declared suspension and meet for only the second time since inconclusive elections some seven months ago.

No surprises for Iraqis but disclosures fuel political row

A coalition government dominated by Nouri al-Maliki and the Iranian-backed Sadrists would do little to solve Iraq's problems Coverage of the Iranian-brokered deal between Nouri al-Maliki and Muqtada al-Sadr has focused on fears that Iranian influence is eclipsing US power in Iraq. But the threat to the US is exaggerated. Being forced to turn to Iran for help has been embarrassing for Maliki, who ran an Iraqi nationalist election campaign that distanced itself from Iran and emphasised Iraq's sovereignty. Rabid anti-Iranian sentiment among both Shia and Sunni Iraqis, including many of Sadr's supporters, mean that Iran's grip over Iraq is largely limited to times of political desperation. Among ordinary Iraqis, Iran is almost as unpopular as the US. Thus, with some political will, the US can claw back the narrow strategic advantage that the Iranians may win through a Shia coalition deal. A far more worrying prospect is the irreparable damage that a Maliki-Sadrist government.......

Lady Eliza Manningham-Buller tells Chilcot that invasion increased terrorist threat and radicalised young British Muslims Steve Bell
