Bush plan adds 1.2 billion in Iraq aid amid power and oil gaps
The extra reconstruction funds come as Iraq's electricity grid struggles to meet demand and oil output falls short of targets by about 900,000 barrels per day. Despite plans to expand Provincial Reconstruction Teams, shortages of volunteers and financial mismanagement hamper progress. Government GAO notes cite sabotage, theft, and corruption as ongoing obstacles.

Iraqi foreign minister urges release of five Iranians detained by U S
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari called for the release of five Iranians held by U S forces in Irbil insisting the detentions stem from a diplomatic mission. He warned against foreign intervention to aid insurgents while stressing Iraq must maintain neighborly ties with Iran and Syria. The U S military linked the detainees to the Quds Force of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard aiding insurgents. Iran denied involvement and urged compensation. Ahmadinejad, in Nicaragua, accused Washington of masking failures in Iraq.
