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.

美國(guó)表示有興趣就伊拉克的教派爭(zhēng)斗與伊朗交換意見(jiàn)，不涉及伊朗核活動(dòng)引起的對(duì)峙。
