Iraqi President Jalal Talabani (file photo) (epa) November 25, 2006 -- Amid a surge of sectarian bloodshed in Baghdad, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani has postponed a planned visit to neighboring Iran, saying he cannot make the flight to Tehran because the Baghdad airport is closed.
At least 30 people were reported killed yesterday as Shi'ite militiamen attacked a Sunni Arab area of Baghdad, burning mosques and homes, in apparent reprisal attacks.
