In tight race, al-Maliki reaches out to rivals (03-13) 04:00 PST Baghdad - -- Seizing on an early lead in Iraq's election, the prime minister's political coalition began reaching out to rivals Friday as partial results signaled a tight race that was unlikely to produce a clear-cut winner. It's doubtful that Nouri al-Maliki - even if he keeps his job - will be able to build a seamless government from political parties separated by sectarian fault lines and Shiite rivalries....

Clinton Rebukes Israel for Housing Announcement WASHINGTON — In a tense, 43-minute phone call on Friday morning, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel’s plans for new housing units for Jews in East Jerusalem sent a “deeply negative signal” about Israel-American relations, and not just because it spoiled a visit by Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. Room for Debate Israel's Challenge to the U.S. The Israeli government tests the Obama administration?s policy of restraint. Post a Comment Mr. Biden, in Israel this week to declare American support for its security, had already condemned the move as undermining the Middle East peace process. But Mrs. Clinton went a...

Chile faces $30B price tag for quake recovery, but in better position to pay than Haiti SANTIAGO, Chile - Chile may need to spend twice as much as Haiti to recover from its devastating quake and tsunami, but it doesn't have the same desperate need for international aid or generous loans. Thanks to surplus stashed away in better times, Chile will be able to finance much of its own reconstruction from last month's disaster. On Friday, President Sebastian Pinera said the country will draw on foreign credit "with moderation." In his first presidential press conference, Pinera said the reconstruction effort would last years and cost "close to $30 billion" — more than double economists' damage estimates of around $14 billion for Haiti's Jan. 12 quake. And... Click here for more details. |

Ending years of stagnation in their economic ties, the two sides decided to take their business relations beyond defence deals by... Click here for more details. |

Brown, Sarkozy slam US 'protectionism' over plane A European-led consortium pulled out of bidding this week for the $35 billion contract, saying the Pentagon was favoring rival American bidder Boeing. "This is not the right way for the United States to treat its European allies," French President Nicolas Sarkozy said. "If they want to be spearheading the fight against protectionism, they shouldn't be setting the wrong example of protectionism," he said. "In life there is what you... Click here for more details. |

Suicide bombs kill 43, wound 100 in Pakistani city LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) -- A pair of suicide bombers targeting army vehicles detonated explosives within seconds of each other Friday, killing at least 43 people in this eastern city and wounding about 100, police said. It was the fourth major attack in Pakistan this week, indicating Islamist militants are stepping up violence after a period of relative calm. About ten of those killed were soldiers, said Lahore police chief Parvaiz Rathore. The bombers, who were on foot, struck RA Bazaar, a residential and commercial neighborhood where several security agencies have facilities. Security forces swarmed the area as thick black smoke rose... Click here for more details. |

Miliband's grand Middle East delusion There is a common ritual that I, like most Britons, have regularly encountered when riding a taxi in Damascus, Amman or Cairo over the past seven years. Talkative and curious, most cabbies will immediately ask where you are from and, on hearing London, raise the usual questions about Tony Blair and Iraq. Seven years after the invasion, British citizens are still taken to task for their government's actions in 2003. It is therefore hard to take seriously David Miliband's claim earlier this week that the Iraq war has boosted Britain's reputation in the Arab world. Called before the Chilcot inquiry, the foreign secretary stated: "People in the region do respect those who are willing to see... Click here for more details. |

Myanmar's Suu Kyi denounces new law Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's opposition leader, has denounced the military government's new laws passed earlier this week that bar her from running for office as "unjust" and "repressive". Commenting for the first time since the set of five laws were passed on Monday, she said she is surprised but undaunted by the laws which will also bar her from voting in elections expected later this year. The country's ruling generals enacted five election-related laws on Monday to govern the polls, and have been gradually unveiling details in state-run newspapers. Several provisions announced so far severely curtail Aung San Suu Kyi's involvement in national politics, even if she were to be freed from... Click here for more details. |

Bangkok on alert ahead of rally Authorities in Thailand have ramped up security in Bangkok, bracing for possible clashes as hundreds of thousands of anti-government protesters converge on the city. Protesters led by the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship – popularly known as the "red shirts" - started assembling around the country on Friday with a plan to stage a rally dubbed a "million-man march" in the Thai capital on Sunday. Protest organisers say they want to peacefully force a change of government and are demanding new elections be held. But amid fears of unrest a government spokesman said more than 30,000 security officials would be deployed around Bangkok with another 46,000 "civilian defence... Click here for more details. |

Strong quakes torment Chile as president sworn in MICHAEL WARREN Associated Press Writer= SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) ? The earth shook and shook Thursday as dignitaries walked in for the swearing-in of Sebastian Pinera as Chile's president. It shook some more as they waited for him. People in the balconies of the vast congressional hall in coastal Valparaiso shouted warnings as a massive light fixture rocked overhead, and heads of state nervously eyed the ceiling. But a steely calm prevailed, and Pinera strode in smiling. The president and his ministers then quickly swore their oaths, and the audience of 2,000 headed for the exits and the hills, joining an evacuation called out of concern that Thursday's repeated aftershocks would set off another...

US urges 'prompt' Middle East talks The US vice-president has urged Israelis and Palestinians to engage in negotiations without delay despite outrage and embarrassment over Israel's announcement of plans to build 1,600 new settler homes. The call comes after the US state department said on Thursday that it had received no indication that the Palestinians had pulled out of planned, US-brokered indirect talks with the Israelis despite the Arab League saying so. Speaking at Tel Aviv University on Thursday as he wrapped up his trip to Israel, Joe Biden said the "most important thing is for the talks to go forward promptly and go forward in good faith". "We can't delay because when progress is postponed, extremists exploit our... Click here for more details. |

High security in Bangkok as protest rally starts Tens of thousands of soldiers and police officers are out in force on the streets of Bangkok this morning as crowds of protesters begin to stream toward the capital to joina a massive rally aimed at paralysing the city and toppling the government. The Thai government warned of unrest as 50,000 security personnel, including 30,000 from the army, 10,000 police officers and 10,000 "civil defence volunteers" were deployed to maintain calm. Water cannon, "sound wave" machines, tear gas, and batons were on hand to deal with any unruly protesters, said government spokesman Panitan Wattanayagom. Government insiders have warned of gun and mortar attacks, and... Click here for more details. |

Maliki, Allawi lead Iraq vote count Nouri al-Maliki, the Iraqi prime minister, has been locked in a tight contest with ex-premier Iyad Allawi to win the post of prime minister as initial results from four of the country's 18 provinces show each of them is leading in two provinces. Thursday's results put al-Maliki's State of Law coalition ahead in Najaf and Babil provinces south of Baghdad, while Allawi's secular Iraqiya alliance topping the list in two provinces north and east of Baghdad, the capital. In northern Iraq, a list representing Iraq's two major Kurdish parties is apparently far ahead of a reform-minded challenger, according to partial early results. Twenty eight per cent of...
