Iraq council delays leader selection amid UN delegation plan
Iraq's interim governing council postponed choosing a leader on Monday while voting to send a delegation to the United Nations Security Council and assert representation of the nation. The Army said thousands of 3rd Infantry Division soldiers will stay deployed due to rising attacks on coalition forces. An ambush killed a U.S. soldier and wounded 10 others. A U.N. weapons hunter discounted claims a nuclear program could be revived with equipment found in a backyard. A general said uranium security in Niger appears solid after a inquiry prompted last year. Findings reached Marine General Carlton Fulford and possibly the Joint Chiefs of Staff chair, with White House delivery unclear.
