...Iraq oil-for-food program. The panel is to investigate claims that top U.N. officials were among those involved in defrauding the $67 billion program. Terror Alert BRITAIN In raids in northern and central England, police arrested 10 people of North African and Iraqi Kurd origin on suspicion of terrorism. Authorities refused to comment on reports that the 10 were planning a bomb attack on soccer club Manchester United's stadium, but stepped up security at the ground. First Week SPAIN Just days after taking office, new PM José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero arrived in Casablanca for discussions...
...material from a host of films, most notably Five Fingers of Death. (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is also clearly an inspiration for a few specific shots.) But seen as the kung fu cowboy, Tarantino’s films always seem to fall flat with the suspicion that his work is not the product of genius, but of an uncanny number of late nights in front of the television.

The lower rungs of society are fed up with the slow pace of reconstruction and unkept U.S. promises of a better life. Suspicion is rife that America's murky plans for a political transition on June 30 will somehow thwart Shi'ite claims to a rightful share of power. On the streets in the Khadamiyah neighborhood of Baghdad, al-Sadr's outspoken defiance made quiescent Shi'ites feel good. Militia guarding...
