U.S. general forecasts more violence in Iraq as talks stall
In Baghdad on Thursday Brig. Gen. Donald Alston warned that violence will likely rise in the weeks ahead as Iraqi leaders and religious groups struggle to form a government. He noted a surge in attacks after the Dec. 15 elections and cited 500+ deaths, with 54 U.S. service members killed this month. The Eid al Adha festival briefly quieted the violence before fresh clashes were expected.
