More rebel attacks in Iraq as new cabinet discussed
As politicians tried once again today to end a deadlock regarding the formation of Iraq’s new transitional government, the death toll from two co-ordinated militant attacks against Iraqi police and civilians rose to 29.
Meanwhile, insurgents launched another attack on Iraq’s beleaguered oil production, using explosives to set fire to oil pumps used for domestic supplies near Kirkuk, said an official at Northern Oil Company. No injuries were immediately reported.
