BAGHDAD, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Sectarian strife remains a great threat despite improving security, Iraqi leaders warned on Wednesday, only hours after a big blast rocked central Baghdad and the U.S. military said three soldiers had been killed.

South of Baghdad, police sources said a bomber wearing a vest packed with explosives killed two people and wounded six at a meeting of local Sunni Arab tribal sheikhs in Iskandariya, a volatile town in an area known as the "triangle of death".
Iraqi leaders gathered at a reconstruction conference in the Green Zone, not far from the Baghdad blast site, and warned that money alone would not solve Iraq's problems.
But whatever. But Putz is optimistic! Yay!
