Iraqi leader predicts new government within days
Shiite politician Ibrahim al Jaafari expected to become Iraq's next prime minister and said a government could be formed in days, ending two months of tense talks after the first free elections in decades. Insurgents attacked a Baghdad convoy, killing two U.S. soldiers and wounding others as Congress members met Iraqi leaders to review progress toward a new political and security framework. The National Assembly has sworn in, but a second session is delayed over cabinet post allocations.
