The Army acknowledged Monday that it had killed a television journalist after soldiers mistook his camera for a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. Press advocacy groups called for an investigation. Meanwhile, efforts to rebuild Iraq were set back over the weekend with explosions on the country's lifeblood oil pipelines and the capital's water supply.
