Leaders Pledge to Track Iraqi Insurgents
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraq's leaders promised on Sunday to track down the killers of scores of Iraqis who died last week in the war's deadliest attack by insurgents, and urged the country's Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish politicians to stop fanning sectarian violence by arguing with one another.
"We promise the great martyrs that we will chase the killers and criminals, the terrorists, Saddamists and Takfiri (Sunni extremists) for viciously trying to divide you," the country's top politicians said Sunday, referring to the 215 people who died when Sunni insurgents attacked Sadr City, the capital's main Shiite district, on Thursday.
Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh read the statement on national television as Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Sunni Parliament speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani and Kurdish President Jalal Talabani stood around him.
Al-Maliki also urged his national unity government of Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds to curb the sectarian violence sweeping through cities such as Baghdad by stopping their public disputes.

"The crisis is political, and it is the politicians who must try to prevent more violence and bloodletting. The terrorist acts are a reflection of the lack of political accord," he said, after he, al-Mashhadani, Talabani and other members of Iraq's Political Council for National Security met for a third day to discuss Iraq's crisis.
Al-Maliki is facing strong criticism from top Shiite and Sunni Arab leaders alike as he prepares for a summit meeting in neighboring Jordan with U.S. President George W. Bush next week.
As the leaders spoke, fierce fighting between Iraqi police and Sunni Arab insurgents erupted in Baqouba for a second day on Sunday, and the country's leaders, and the government partially lifted a 24-hour curfew it had imposed in the capital after the bombing and mortar attack on Sadr City.
At least 11 suspected militants were killed in Baqouba, according to a police official who spoke on condition of anonymity as Iraqi security forces often do in an area subjected to widespread fighting and revenge killings.
Few details were immediately available about the clashes, but during Saturday's fighting police killed at least 36 insurgents and wounded dozens after scores of militants armed with assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades attacked government buildings in the center of the city, police said.
(AP) In this photo made available by the Iraqi President Press Office, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani,...

The fighting raged for hours in Baqouba, which is 60 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Baghdad. Iraqi police have reported no casualties.
In Baghdad, some Iraqis went shopping at local vegetable and fruit markets Sunday after being confined to their homes for two full days. The markets often had only limited supplies since the curfew also banned vehicular traffic and all commercial flights at Baghdad International Airport.
The curfew was imposed after Sunni insurgents used bombs and mortars to kill 215 people Thursday in the main Shiite district of Sadr City.
"The situation is better today because we can finally get out and buy food for the first time in two days," said Hussein Fadel, a Shiite civil servant, as he shopped in Sadr City, where Muslim memorial services were still being held for people killed in Thursday's attack. "I hope the city is less tense today."
No fighting was reported in the capital on Sunday morning, but several explosions occurred in central Baghdad near the Green Zone, where Iraq's government and the U.S. and British embassies are based. One sent up a large cloud of black smoke on the opposite side of the Tigris River, but no casualties were immediately reported.

The curfew's traffic ban remained in place, and the capital's streets were empty of all cars and trucks, except those being driven by Iraqi and U.S. security forces.
Elsewhere, a suicide car bomber slammed into an Iraqi police checkpoint on a highway near a Sunni mosque in Mahmoudiya city Sunday morning, killing five policemen and wounding 23, said police Capt. Muthanna Khalid Ali. The city of Shiites and Sunnis is about 20 miles south of Baghdad.
In Anbar province, the area of western Iraq where many Sunni insurgents are based, two U.S. Marines died Saturday, the military said, raising to at least 2,875 the number of U.S. servicemen who have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003. So far this month in Iraq, 56 American service members have been killed or died.
On Saturday, a prominent Sunni religious leader warned that Iraq's escalating sectarian violence will spread throughout the Middle East unless the international community withdraws support for al-Maliki's government.
"I call on the Arab states, the Arab League and the United Nations to stop this government and withdraw its support from it. Otherwise, the disaster will occur and the turmoil will happen in Iraq and other countries," said Sheik Harith al-Dhari, who heads the Association of Muslim Scholars.
Last week, Iraq's Interior Ministry issued an arrest warrant against al-Dhari, saying he was wanted for inciting violence and terrorism.
Meanwhile, Shiite politicians loyal to the radical anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr have threatened to boycott parliament and the Cabinet if al-Maliki goes ahead with the planned summit in Jordan on Wednesday and Thursday. The political bloc, known as Sadrists, is a mainstay of support for al-Maliki.
The White House has said the meeting is still on.

Hello everyone. I hope all had a good holiday. No auction today. Very little transacted the previous two auctions. So, I think the theme this week will be "Have they reached their (CBI) target level of the removal of currency from the economy. So, this week may be exciting, not by what we see, but by what we DO NOT see. If they have reached their target, then we may not see very much. I know some would say they are not having an auction today due to the violence. And, this may be part of the reason. But, when you take the last few days, and the very low amounts in the auctions, then maybe we are developing a trend of smaller auctions that are much MORE difficult to understand. Expect auctions a lot less dramatic than in the recent weeks of November. I doubt they (CBI) want to return to auctions where they are pumping large amounts of dinar into the economy, i.e. "undo" the last months auctions, but they may have reached levels where there is simply a lot less dinar available to "sweep" from the economy. When you step back and view their actions from a larger perspective, then these actions would be exactly what you would expect prior to an adjustment in the price of the Iraqi dinar, i.e. an RV. Thank you and have a good weekend.
