World Iraqi leaders unable to pick prime minister BAGHDAD, Iraq — Efforts to form a unity government suffered a new setback Sunday as Iraqi leaders postponed a parliament session after failing to agree on a prime minister. Bombs targeted Shiites near a mosque and on a bus as attacks nationwide killed at least 35 people. U.S. officials believe the best way to stem the violence is for the Iraqis to establish a government comprising Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds, paving the way for the U.S. to start withdrawing its 133,000 troops. --| Police Bulletin USCPD is seeking your assistance.

Simmons Iran to give $50 million to Palestinian Authority (lasser Karimi THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TEHRAN, Iran — Iran said Sunday it would give the Palestinian Authority $50 million in aid, moving in for the first time with money after the United States and Europe cut off funding to the Hamas-led government. Iran has long had close ties to the Islamic militant movement Hamas and is believed to have given money to the movement in the past — though the Shiite clerical-led government in Tehran has denied that, saying its support has only been moral. But the new money, if given, would be the first time Iran has provided funds to the Palestinian Authority, the government in the West Bank and Gaza Strip that until now was led by the moderate Fatah movement, which carried out peace negotiations with Israel, a policy shunned by Iran. Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki announced the aid package Sunday during a conference held in Tehran in support of the Palestinians. Tehran had previously promised to help the Palestinians if other international funds were cut off, but Sunday’s remarks were the first time Iran has specified an amount. Mottaki said the pledge was based a long-standing policy to support the Palestinians, Iranian state television reported. “Cutting the West’s financial aid to Palestine should not affect the will of the Palestinian people,” he was quoted as saying.
