Attacks in Tal Afar and Baghdad underscored ongoing insecurity ahead of a parliamentary vote and U.N. mandate expiry.

Pakistan and US Reach Tacit Airstrike Deal
Washington and Islamabad reportedly agreed in September on a don't-ask-don't-tell approach allowing Predator missiles to strike suspected terrorist targets in western Pakistan. US drones reportedly fire about once every four or five days, with Pakistan protesting the covert strikes while officials say the tactic helps fight al Qaida and Taliban elements.
