12 dead in US helicopter crash in Iraq

Two attacks on Iraq's Interior Ministry, meanwhile, killed seven people and injured 26, Ala'a Abid of the al-Kindi hospital said. A suicide car bomb exploded near a rear gate, and less than an hour later two mortar shells landed near the ministry, police said.

In other violence Monday, gunmen assassinated an investigative judge in Kirkuk, police Capt. Farhad Talabani said. In Baghdad, gunmen fired on three people working on Iraq's de-Baathification commission, killing one, police Capt. Qassim Hussein said. Gunmen also killed an Iraqi intelligence officer in western Baghdad, Hussein said. Five bodies, bound and blindfolded, were found shot to death in Baghdad late Sunday night, police said.

Five people died in separate attacks in Baghdad on Sunday, including a policeman killed by a suicide car bomber targeting an Interior Ministry patrol. Seven others were wounded.

There were reports Monday that the French engineer who was freed from captivity on Sunday escaped out of a farmhouse window and ran to coalition troops, contradicting an account given by Iraqi police that he was thrown out of a car approaching a checkpoint. The U.S. military Monday refused to release any information or what role, if any, U.S. troops had in Bernard Planche's release.

The Defense Ministry in Paris said the 52-year-old Planche, who was captured Dec. 5, would return to France on Monday. Planche had been in Iraq working for a non-governmental organization that he started himself.

Results of Iraq's Dec. 15 parliamentary elections will be released after the four-day Islamic feast of Eid al-Adha, which begins Tuesday, said Hussein Hindawi, a member of Iraq's electoral commission.

Elections officials Monday canceled a news conference where they had hoped to announce more preliminary results, saying officials were still auditing the results from about 50 ballot boxes and wanted to announce all results at the same time.

The leader of Iraq's main Sunni Arab political group said after meeting President Jalal Talabani on Sunday that significant headway had been made in efforts to form a government of national unity.

"Talabani and I have an identical point of view regarding the formation of a national unity government based on consensus," Adnan al-Dulaimi said.

Al-Dulaimi confirmed that Iraq's two Kurdish leaders, Talabani and Kurdistan regional President Massoud Barzani, have been mediating with other groups to form a coalition government.

Their efforts seem to have forged an understanding between the main Shiite religious bloc and al-Dulaimi's group — which represent two traditionally hostile camps whose enmity often threatens to plunge Iraq into sectarian warfare.

Shiite leaders have in recent days threatened reprisals against the minority Sunni Arabs following twin suicide attacks that killed more than 100 people. They have blamed the attacks on both the Sunni-Arab-led insurgency and some Sunni Arab political groups they say openly support the militants.

"This should be done by consensus for the sake of Iraq's unity and independence. Barzani, Talabani and I agree on this condition, and this is our sole condition and demand," al-Dulaimi said.

Talabani said Saturday that Iraq's political groups could form a coalition government within weeks — and some experts say the new government could be formed next month.

"Barzani and Talabani are conducting contacts with the Shiite Alliance and I think that the Alliance should agree on this project otherwise stability in Iraq cannot be achieved," al-Dulaimi said of a broad-based government.

Forming a viable broad-based government is a key American goal because such an administration, if it includes Sunni Arabs, could help defuse the insurgency.
