Edge in the News: 2006
Two thousand six was a difficult year in Iraq with increasing violence, clashes between religious groups and many civilian deaths. Thousands of Iraqis have been killed. Almost three thousand members of the American military have been killed since the war began in two thousand three. Many Americans voted to express their unhappiness with the situation in Iraq. As a result, Nancy Pelosi of California will become the first woman to serve as speaker of the House.
These were the other top stories of the year. The United States and its allies worked unsuccessfully to halt nuclear programs in North Korea and Iran. North Korea tested a nuclear weapon in October.
But deep divisions prevented Congress from approving legislation. Supporters of rights for immigrants held several demonstrations. Also in Washington, several congressmen from the Republican Party were involved in cases of wrongdoing. One was former House majority leader Tom DeLay who resigned after being charged with campaign finance crimes. Another was former representative Mark Foley. He resigned after he was found to have sent sexual messages to male students working for Congress.
He was sentenced to death by hanging. In the Middle East, Israel and the Lebanon-based Hezbollah militia fought a month-long war during the summer.
His murderer, Hannad Hasan, will be sentenced at the Old Bailey in 2007. The Lord Chancellor , Lord Falconer , rejects calls from families of murder victims for all convicted murderers to be sentenced to a minimum of 25 years in prison. Five other men were cleared of conspiracy to murder following the trial at Birmingham Crown Court. The 60,000-seat stadium is the largest club stadium to have been built in English football since Maine Road , which was home of Manchester City from 1923 to 2003.
The war itself spiralled into a quagmire teetering on the brink of civil war. A damning report called for the US to revise its troop strategy in Iraq and address the "grave and deteriorating" situation in the country. Australia recorded its first death in the Iraq conflict after soldier Private Jake Kovco died in an accidental shooting. His grieving family also expressed their disbelief and outrage after an inquiry found Pte Kovco was responsible for his own death.
It was a year where conflict continued to plague the Middle East , which reached a new boiling point as Lebanese and Israeli tensions exploded in July. Hundreds of Australians were urgently evacuated of from the region. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict continued to rumble. It was exacerbated by Hamas winning control of the Palestinian Parliament in February. Subsequent factional violence among the Palestinians themselves intensified the crisis in the region. Iran came under further criticism over its nuclear energy stance and also together with Syria, came under fire for its backing of Hezbollah in Lebanon. North Korea flexed its strategic muscle in its first underground nuclear test in October, ignoring international condemnation and threats of more sanctions. He is still awaiting a trial for alleged involvement in terrorist activities in Afghanistan. Closer to home, violence broke out in East Timor in April, as troops and police fought among themselves in the streets of the capital Dili.
