In Iraq, a series of bombings killed at least 26 people on Monday, making it the bloodiest day in Iraq in two months, according to The New York Times. The bombings occurred as the U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad warned Iraq that the Bush administration might cut off aid to Iraq if the new government doesn’t replace the heads of the defense and interior ministries. Khalizaid said, “We are not going to invest the resources of the American people into forces run by people who are sectarian.” British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw is expected to soon deliver a similar message. He arrived in Baghdad last night.
