It would be nice if this were the lead for the story, huh?
CNN.com - Car bomb explodes near Allawi party headquarters - Jan 3, 2005: "Insurgent attacks have prompted calls from many Iraqis to delay the January vote. Iraq's interim government and the United States appear determined to leave the date unchanged.
For the third time in two months, the electoral commission in Mosul has resigned, said Kahsro Goran, deputy governor of Nineveh province.
Goran said Sunday that the election outlook for his region had 'significant problems.'
'We have to have elections, but the security situation is deteriorating,' Goran said. 'So there will not be real and fair participation.'
Particularly problematic, Goran said, is the lack of a police force in Mosul. Of the city's original 14,000 officers, he said, the number has fallen to 600 active policemen."
