Iraqi president threatens sharp sword against insurgents
Iraqi interim president Ghazi al-Yawer warned that a very sharp sword is ready to strike at anyone threatening the country’s security. In Baghdad meanwhile police battled militants in Bab Alsheikh, killing one suspect and wounding two, with hundreds detained as part of a crackdown. Philippine plans to withdraw troops were linked to hostage demand pressure over Angelo dela Cruz, while insurgents claimed to spare the hostage’s life by freeing him for payment and withdrawal.
