Bomb in Iraq
A car bomb was detonated "almost completely destroy(ing)" the offices of VP Tariq Hashemi's Islamic Party. (Fallujah, Sunni.)
Within the context of Iraqi politics, this is pretty big, although not likely as significant as the Kurdish elections held today. Early reports are that Barzani and Talabani held on, meaning the much predicted oil and territory conflict with the Shia national government looms.
Later: There's a lot of coverage that "reformers" had a significant showing in Kurdistan, but I have trouble seeing how 15 seats in a 111 seat legislature, leaving the ruling coalition with a clear majority represents any serious "change."
