BAGHDAD, Iraq, Sept. 1 — Three weeks after American and Iraqi troops began searching, fortifying and patrolling Dora, one of Baghdad’s bloodiest neighborhoods, the odor of death on the streets has eased. After 126 bodies surfaced in Dora in July, only 18 turned up in August, according to United States military figures. Killings, most often Sunni against Shiite or vice versa in this mixed neighborhood, dropped as well: 14 were reported last month, down from 73 in July.

Violence rages on as Iraq celebrates Al-Qaeda capture by Dave Clark

BAGHDAD (AFP) - Bombers have struck a police patrol in central Baghdad as Iraq's embattled government was celebrating the arrest of an alleged terror kingpin accused of triggering a sectarian war.

Meanwhile a war of words continued between the Iraqi government and Kurdish leaders Monday, who have refused to fly the national flag in their autonomous region.

Interior ministry spokesman Brigadier General Abdelkarim Khalaf told AFP that three officers were critically wounded in the attack in Al-Wabhiq Square in the largely Shiite and Christian district of Karrada.

Violence also continued just north of the capital in Diyala province, which is in the grip of a vicious turf-war between rival Sunni and Shiite factions. At least one civilian was shot dead and five more wounded, police said.

The violence, which was low-key by Iraq's bloody standards, followed the arrest of a man described by Iraqi officials as the number two figure in the Sunni militant movement Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

"This is a very important development," deputy prime minister Barham Saleh said Sunday in an interview with CNN.

"Deliberate intelligence work both by Iraqi forces as well as multinational forces has dealt a very severe blow to the Al-Qaeda organisation in Iraq.

"And it is also significant because this man is believed to have been responsible for the attack on the shrines in Samarra, which led to the sectarian violence that we have seen," he said.

In February, extremists demolished the golden dome of a revered Shiite shrine, triggering a series of sectarian reprisals which have pushed Iraq to the brink of all-out civil war.

Alongside that conflict, Sunni insurgents have continued to target the US-led coalition forces protecting Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's government.

Two US marines died Sunday after "enemy action" in the western province of Al-Anbar, a bastion of the Sunni insurgency, the military said.

The latest deaths brought the US military's losses in Iraq since the March 2003 invasion to 2,647, according to an AFP count based on Pentagon figures.

At the same time, tempers frayed on Iraq's other main faultline -- the divide between Arab leaders in Baghdad and the Kurdish minority in the north.

Last week, the president of the autonomous Kurdish region, Massud Barzani, set off a war of words when he banned the use of the Iraqi banner, branding it a symbol of ousted leader Saddam Hussein's hated regime.

Maliki responded with an order that the national flag should fly until Iraq's parliament, which is to reconvene on Tuesday after a recess, decides on a new symbol on which the whole country can agree.

Barzani's response was uncompromising, and raised the spectre of resurgent separatist feelings among the Kurds.

"This flag of chauvinism will not be hoisted on Kurdish land in Iraq. The procedure all over the world is that when a dictatorial regime is abolished, all that is related to it should also be abolished," he said.

"This has happened across the world, and we do not know who decided that the present flag be the flag of Iraq. Was it decided by the parliament or by the cabinet?" he asked, according to a statement from his office.

Attempting to play honest broker, Iraq's Kurdish president, Jalal Talabani, weighed into the debate, supporting Barzani's opposition to the old banner but calling for patience while a new one is adopted.

"The Iraqi flag to be adopted by the Iraqi parliament in accordance with the constitution will be a holy and glorified one, recognized by all," he said.

I would imagine that Adster has a life as opposed to some of the rest of us, LOL

Do any of you here read the Iraq Investor's Forum? I was just reading it and feel absolutely sick in my heart...to say nothing of pure confusion. Most of the posts there are adamant that the ONLY profit to be realized in Iraq is through investments. They say there (and present many, many articles) that the dinar will NOT revalue for many, many years. For an old woman, hoping for a better, more secure life, this is very disheartening. How does one know who has credible information and who is just speculating? According to posted e-mail from the Warka Bank manager, it is just not going to happen. Do any of you have truly validated information to the contrary?

Well, It seems that dates come and go some good news, good articles.

What happened at the Trade Fair in Demascus (sp) and the Rebuild Iraq fair in Iran. I thougth that this would be a pretty good indication that things would happen SOON. How and why woudl you trade with the world, when your money aint worht $hit. Anyway that informantion was posted with no specualtion on its meaning. So i formulated my own opinion. A good one of course!

Chase Bank is now exchanging the Dinar-I did not ask them at what ER they were exchanging it, as I was in purchase mode. Now all this negative press popping up and Kurds not dispalying flags. Maybe all this negative Bull $shit is designed to scare us little people who have more than they anticipated having, to GIVE UP and EXCHANGE our Dinar. Heck they dont care that their people are paying more for their loaves of bread. HECK People have been STRAVING TO DEATH in Africa for Decades. Do you see anything changing over there. Also that article from the person of WARKA Bank mentioning that the sale of the dinar is one way that they keep money flowing into the country. Maybe we should stop buying and cut them off - force them into a RV Like SGS on IIF says sit back and wait. Oh! and whats up with the re-posting of old negative articles to appear new.

I just really think that these people are so uncivilized, too much so to get there heads out from there butts and realize what is going on.
Hopefully the RV will happen soon so US can pull our troops out and give them what they really want - IMHO " the freedon to kill eachother off without interference. They just dont get the big picture - SO SAD.

A side Question- How come this is not a publicized as was the Euro.

Also when this does actually happen, perhaps we can find some people that made money on the Euro. They would have some good advice I would think.
I'm going to start. I''ll keep you all posted.

Dont get discouraged we are in the home strecth now!!!! GO Dinars

I hear you girlfriend. It's better to just not go to that forum. There's no way to know what's going to happen I guess, God knows and she ain't tellin'. I know how hard it can be to keep your chin up when everything looks so vague and chaotic. What we can do is pray for each other and for the unfolding events. If nothing else, it helps me feel better!
God bless you, keep the faith, if it's not this, then maybe something better.
