DEATH TO GOD THE MASS MURDERER

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A bomb exploded during a funeral procession in the
northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk Saturday morning, killing three Iraqi police
officers and wounding six others, according to the U.S. military.
The funeral was for an Iraqi police officer killed on Friday.
Insurgents have killed hundreds of policemen in a bloody campaign to topple
Iraq's U.S.-backed government.
The fate of the ethnically divided oil center of Kirkuk is one of the most
sensitive issues in negotiations on forming a government after the January
30 elections.
Kurds are hoping to expand their de facto autonomous zone in northern Iraq
to include Kirkuk, 250 km (155 miles) north of Baghdad.
Also Saturday, U.S. soldiers mistakenly fired on a group of Iraqi police
officers in a northern neighborhood of Baghdad, wounding three of the
Iraqis, according to an Iraqi Emergency Police spokesman.
The American troops were patrolling in the Azamiyah neighborhood at around
3:00 a.m. when they opened fire on the Iraqi police officers, police said.
The U.S. military has not commented on the incident.
Meanwhile a Syrian national who Iraqi police suspect was making plans for a
terrorist attack was arrested near Baghdad's Babylon Hotel early Saturday,
Iraqi police said.
The suspect was apparently doing reconnaissance work around the hotel
grounds, police said.
Earlier in an interview with CNN, the Kurdish leader expected to be selected
Iraq's transitional president said the recently elected National Assembly
will form a government when it meets next week.
Patriotic Union of Kurdistan leader Jalal Talabani said that the assembly
will meet March 25 or March 26 and propose an assembly speaker, president
and prime minister.
Talabani said he is expected to become president while Shiite Dawa Party
leader Ibrahim al-Jaafari is expected to be selected prime minister. He said
lawmakers want a Sunni Arab to be assembly speaker.
The Shiites and Kurds have nearly finished their talks, he said, and their
goal is to bring more factions into the government, such as interim Prime
Minister Ayad Allawi's coalition and Sunni Arabs.
The combined seats of the Shiite-led United Iraqi Alliance and the Kurdish
bloc, which came in first and second respectively in the January 30
election, make up a solid majority in the assembly.
The body's main responsibility is writing a permanent constitution, which
will be put before voters in a referendum later this year.
After that constitution is ratified, national elections for a permanent
government will be held. They are expected to be held later this year.
Features of new government
Talabani revealed that Shiites and Kurds have agreed that the constitution
will be based on the transitional administrative law -- the interim
constitution in place -- to ease fears that strict Islamic rules will be the
foundation of the new law.
He said the new government will be less hard on former Baathists -- members
of Saddam Hussein's party -- and will include Kurdish pershmerga militias in
Iraqi security forces. Some of these militias will be retained as special
operations forces.
Referring to the the status of Kirkuk, a city that the Kurds want to bring
into the Kurdish autonomous region, Talabani said that issue will be
discussed when the new constitution is ratified.

the "loving, caring, all-knowing" god MURDERS some more people

BEIRUT, Lebanon - Investigators searched the rubble of a car-bombed building
in Beirut for clues to an attack that boosted fears of renewed bloodshed in
Lebanon and complicated already troubled negotiations between rival
political groups over the formation of a new government.
advertisement
The attack wounded nine people and came amid the withdrawal of Syrian troops
to eastern Lebanon and Syria after a 29-year presence in this former civil
war-ravaged country. The redeployments followed intense international and
local opposition to Syria's role in Lebanon since the Feb. 14 assassination
of ex-premier Rafik Hariri in a massive bombing that killed 17 others.
The motive behind the attack wasn't immediately clear, but it devastated an
eight-story apartment building in the largely Christian New Jdeideh
neighborhood shortly after midnight and sent panicked residents in their
pajamas into the street.
Concerns over sectarian violence
It also played to concerns among some Lebanese that pro-Syrian elements
might resort to violence to show, in their view, the need for a continued
presence by Damascus forces. Hundreds of thousands of Lebanese have taken
part in demonstrations for and against Syria since Hariri was killed. The
anti-Syrian protests have featured large numbers of Maronite Christians.
"This has been the message to the Lebanese people for a while - to sow fear
and terror among Lebanese citizens," Christian opposition member Pierre
Gemayel told Al-Jazeera satellite television. The message is "if there is a
Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon, look what Lebanon will face."
Police closed all entrances leading to the blast site and blocked onlookers
from nearing the devastated building. After sunrise, residents began
clearing debris and inspecting their damaged shops and homes.
Blast caused by time bomb
Security officials told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity the
blast was caused by a time-bomb placed underneath a car belonging to a
Lebanese-Armenian resident of the damaged building. It was unclear where the
car owner was or why the bomb was placed under his vehicle.
Earlier, witnesses said the car attempted to stop in front of a bingo hall,
but security guards asked its driver to move along. The driver then parked
the car a short way down the road. Minutes later it exploded.
In a statement, Lebanon's pro-Syrian president, Emile Lahoud, made no
mention of the attack, saying only that Lebanon was experiencing
"exceptional circumstances" that required "immediate and direct dialogue"
between opposition and pro-government groups.
Lahoud said Lebanon's various political factions must "shoulder their
historic responsibilities in protecting the higher interests of Lebanon at
this critical stage."
"The doors of the presidential palace will be open at any time to host such
a meeting starting today," he said.
Opposition legislator Fares Soeid dismissed the president's invitation. "It's
too late. This subject is closed," he said in a televised interview.
Political deadlock
Political demands from factions for and against Syria have bogged down
efforts to form a new government, raising concerns the deadlock could
threaten upcoming elections and even Syria's final withdrawal.
Pro-Damascus premier-designate Omar Karami has insisted on a "national
unity" government, but the opposition is refusing to join unless its
demands are met. The opposition wants a neutral Cabinet to arrange for
elections, the resignation of security chiefs and an international
investigation into Hariri's death.
Some opposition members accuse Karami of stalling to kill chances of holding
an election they believe the pro-Syrian camp will lose. Walid Jumblatt, an
opposition leader, said parliamentary polls should be held as planned for
April and May.
"Why postpone the parliamentary elections? Let them hold the elections
according to the electoral law they deem suitable, but we will not
participate in the government," he told Future Television.
Seven-foot crater
Saturday's explosion blew off the fronts of some structures, left a
seven-foot-deep crater, damaged parked cars and shops and shattered windows
for several blocks.
"We were sleeping when it happened," said a white-haired man, wearing blue
pajamas, who declined to be identified. "We don't know what and why. No one
important lives here."
The intensity of the political battle over Syria's troops has raised fears
of a return to the sectarian violence of the 1975-90 civil war. So far,
however, the political camps do not conform to religious boundaries, with
Christians and Muslims on both sides of the debate.
On Thursday, Syria completed the first phase of its withdrawal in Lebanon,
redeploying all its remaining soldiers and military intelligence officers to
the eastern Bekaa Valley. Of the 14,000 troops that were in Lebanon last
month, at least 4,000 soldiers have returned to Syria.
At the United Nations, Maronite Cardinal Nasrallah Sfeir said that Syria had
given assurances it would withdraw its troops before the country's
elections, as U.N. and American officials want.
