Abbas says Israel to lift West Bank travel restrictions soon
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas announced that Israel will ease travel limits in parts of the West Bank in coming weeks and may allow some Gaza and West Bank workers to enter Israel. The move follows a Mideast summit with Ariel Sharon signaling an end to four years of bloodshed, aiming to ease Palestinian economic hardship. In Venezuela, heavy rains triggered floods and landslides killing at least 13, prompting evacuations and a state of emergency in Caracas and six nearby states. Authorities reported thousands displaced, 4300 plus evacuated, and several missing as rivers overwhelmed roads and homes.

Iraq delays final election results amid recount and violence
Iraqi officials said they must recount votes from about 300 ballot boxes due to discrepancies delaying final results from the landmark elections. Post election violence rose as an American soldier was killed and two others wounded in an ambush near Baghdad, with further attacks targeting Kurdish officials and a Basra journalist and child. Officials warned the deadline would not be met and no partial tallies have been released. The Kurdish coalition trails a Shiite led slate backed by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani while Ayad Allawi’s secular ticket sits third.
