• US Army Investigates Soldiers' Convoy Refusal The U.S. Army launched an investigation into 19 Army Reserve soldiers who refused to participate in a fuel delivery convoy in Iraq.

An army spokesperson denied these specific allegations, highlighting the complex dynamics of military operations during the Iraq War.

• Former Costa Rican President Arrested Miguel Angel Rodriguez, a former president of the Organization of American States (OAS) and Costa Rica, was arrested following his resignation due to corruption allegations.
