In brief: From Wire Reports:
BAGHDAD – Shiite-dominated areas in southern and central Iraq were rocked Monday by car bomb explosions that killed at least 22 people and fueled fears that the country is sliding into a civil war.
The violence occurred as Iraqi security forces surrounded the Sunni cities of Ramadi and Fallujah demanding that the area’s tribes hand over those responsible for killing five Iraqi soldiers over the weekend. Authorities gave the tribes 48 hours to hand the men over.
The deadline passed, but Jaber Jabri, a member of parliament from Ramadi, said late Monday that a tentative deal had been struck to defuse the situation. He said a committee of military commanders, local officials and tribal figures would search for those thought to be responsible, and the tribes would remove their guns from the streets of Ramadi.
The army would be allowed to search specific areas for weapons, but would not launch an attack, he said, adding: “I hope now the situation will get better.”
Fallujah and Ramadi, former hotbeds of the insurgency against the Americans, have led a four-month protest movement against Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Politicians fear an assault on Anbar province could be the beginning of a new sectarian conflict. A decision last week to storm a Sunni protest camp in northern Iraq triggered a week of related-violence that left more than 200 dead.
Sept. 11 plane part was portion of wing
NEW YORK – The rusted metal aircraft part believed to be from one of the hijacked jetliners that slammed into the World Trade Center on 9/11 came from a wing, not landing gear, police said Monday.
The 5-foot piece is a trailing edge flap support structure, police said. It is located closer to the body of the plane and helps secure wing flaps that move in and out and aid in regulating plane speed. Investigators initially thought it was part of the landing gear because both pieces have similar-looking hydraulics.
Boeing officials told police the part came from one of its 767 airliners, but it isn’t possible to determine which flight. Both hijacked planes that struck the towers were Boeing 767s. Workers discovered the part Wednesday on the ground in a sliver of space between a luxury loft rental building and a mosque.
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Monday tapped rising Democratic politician Anthony Foxx to lead the Department of Transportation, an agency at the center of Washington’s fiscal fights.
Foxx, the mayor of Charlotte, N.C., is the first black nominee among the president’s picks for open spots in his second-term Cabinet. The president had faced questions, including from the Congressional Black Caucus, about a lack of diversity in his first round of nominations after winning re-election.
Obama said that, as a mayor, Foxx knows how to use infrastructure spending to create jobs and boost economic growth.
