Politics this week
Nov 10th 2005
From The Economist print edition
Attack in Jordan
In Amman, the capital of Jordan , suicide-bombers killed at least 67 people and wounded at least
150 more in co-ordinated attacks on three luxury hotels. The Iraqi branch of al-Qaeda claimed
responsibility. See article
Veteran Israeli politician Shimon Peres unexpectedly lost a ballot for
the Labour Party leadership. The winner, Amir Peretz, wants Labour to
withdraw from the coalition government of Ariel Sharon.
AP
A second defence-lawyer in the trial of Saddam Hussein was killed
in Baghdad, bringing demands that the trial, due to resume on
November 28th after an adjournment, be held outside Iraq.
Meanwhile, at least 30 people were killed in a suicide-bomb attack on
a restaurant in the city. See article
Iran's government, sounding more conciliatory after the belligerent
comments of its new president in the past few weeks, said it would
like to restart negotiations with Britain, France and Germany. Those countries had previously
suspended talks in response to Iran's decision to resume uranium-enrichment activities.
A tense stand-off continued in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, following last week's killing of
46 protesters by government security forces. The prime minister, Meles Zenawi, who won disputed
elections in May, says that detained opposition leaders and two journalists will now stand trial for
treason. See article
Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, a former banker, seemed set to beat George Weah, a former footballer, in a
run-off election for Liberia's presidency. If she wins, she will be Africa's first elected female
leader. See article
Crisis state
The rioting in France that began in the suburbs of Paris spread across the country. The
government drafted in extra police and invoked a 1955 law to authorise curfews. It also said it
would deport any foreigners found guilty of rioting. See article
Tony Blair's Labour government suffered its first serious defeat in eight years, when the House of
Commons rejected legislation that would have extended the period that terrorist suspects can be
detained without charge to 90 days. See article

Germany's planned “grand coalition” partners agreed to raise value-added tax, cut public
spending and relax rules that make it hard to fire unwanted workers. Critics said the plans would
knock Germany's hesitant economic recovery on the head.
Azerbaijan's parliamentary election was won by the ruling YAP party of President Ilham Aliev.
But international observers said the poll had been fraudulent, and the opposition started protests
calling for another election. See article
The European Commission recommended that Macedonia should be invited to talks on joining the
EU. It also criticised Turkey, with which talks began last month, for its continuing human-rights
abuses.
Terror thwarted
Seventeen alleged Islamic militants were arrested in co-ordinated raids in Sydney and Melbourne.
The arrests came days after Australia's prime minister, John Howard, gave warning that a major
terrorist operation was being planned. See article
Indonesian officials reported that one of Asia's most wanted men, Azahari Husin, died in a police
operation. Husin is wanted for involvement in the 2002 Bali bomb attacks and other atrocities.
India's foreign minister, Natwar Singh, resigned after being named in connection with the Volcker
report into oil dealings with Iraq (he maintains he is innocent). See article
A new round of six-country talks aimed at defusing the crisis caused by North Korea's pursuit of
nuclear weapons got under way in Beijing. See article
China's president, Hu Jintao, visited Britain and Germany. Next week, he will attend a regional
summit meeting in Seoul, before hosting President George Bush in Beijing.
Two crossing-points between Indian- and Pakistani-occupied Kashmir opened, a month after the
earthquake that has claimed at least 74,000 lives. See article
Terminated?

California's voters rejected all four of Arnold Schwarzenegger's
initiatives in a special election that the governor had called to shore
up his reform agenda for the state. The electorate also rejected a
separate proposal, endorsed by Mr Schwarzenegger, on parental
notification for abortions. See article
Elsewhere, Democrats won the governor's race in both New Jersey
and Virginia by much wider margins than recent polling had
suggested. On the plus side for the Republicans, Michael Bloomberg
easily won re-election as mayor of New York , and in San Diego's
third mayoral election in a year, Jerry Sanders, a former police chief,
trounced Donna Frye, a maverick surf-shop owner who contested November 2004's result by
claiming her populist write-in campaign had won. See article
The Supreme Court said it will hear an appeal from Osama bin Laden's former driver, who is being
held at Guantánamo Bay, on the constitutionality of Mr Bush's policy of detention and military
