伊组建团结政府努力再遭挫折
伊拉克组建全国团结政府的努力星期四看来又遭遇挫折，宣布召开议会下一次会议的计划被取消。巴格达的最新报导说，什叶派领导人反对下星期召集议会，而逊尼派以及库尔德族领导人则希望这个拥有275个席位的立法机构开会，就总理贾法里的去留展开讨论。

尽管贾法里所在的什叶派联盟内部以及西方都呼吁他下台，但贾法里已经拒绝放弃他领导下一届政府的候选人资格。一些什叶派领导人表示，他们可能会徵求有影响力的什叶派教士西斯塔尼的意见。贾法里的候选人资格问题是议会选举4个月以来组建全国团结政府的主要障碍。


Efforts to form a national unity government in Iraq apparently suffered another setback today (Thursday), when plans to announce the next session of parliament were canceled. News reports from Baghdad say Shi'ite leaders opposed convening parliament next week. Sunni and Kurdish leaders were hoping the 275-member legislature could meet to decide the future of Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari.

The prime minister has refused to give up his candidacy to lead the country's next government, despite calls to step aside from within his Shi'ite coalition as well as the West. Some Shi'ite politicians are indicating they might seek the advice of the country's most respected Shi'ite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. The Jaafari candidacy is one of the main sticking points that has deadlocked efforts to form a national unity government in Iraq nearly four months after parliamentary elections.
