*巴格达汽车炸弹死九人伤三十

伊拉克警方说，首都巴格达星期五发生的一次汽车炸弹爆炸事件炸死至少九人，
30多人受伤。这起最新的攻击事件发生时，伊拉克新成立的政府正在努力确定国
防部长和内政部长这两个涉及安全事务关键职位的人选。伊拉克总理马利基表示
，伊拉克军队将能在一年半的时间里控制全国的安全。

对峙。

Car Bomb Blast in Baghdad Kills 9, Wounds 30

Iraqi police say a car bomb explosion in Baghdad Friday killed
at least nine people and wounded more than 30 others. The latest
incident comes as Iraq's newly installed government struggles
to fill the key security posts of defense and interior ministers.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has said Iraqi forces will be able
to take control of security around the country within a
year-and-a-half.

In other news, Iran's foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, visiting
Baghdad Friday, said Tehran has decided not to have direct talks with
Washington over the situation in Iraq. Mottaki accused the U.S. of
using the proposed meeting for propaganda, and of raising other
issues besides Iraq.

The U.S. has expressed interest in speaking to Iran about the sectarian
struggle in Iraq, not about the standoff over Tehran's nuclear
activities.

Friday in the Inner Mongolia region. He fled following the May 18th
flood at a mine . There has been no reported contact with the 57

China's mines are the most dangerous in the world. Almost six thousand
Chinese miners were killed in accidents across the country last year.
