I'm David Deforest from the VOA News Center in Washington.

 

Thousands of mourners have gathered in Jerusalem to remember the 8 victims of Thursday night's attack on a Jewish religious school. Witnesses said the gunman entered a crowded room at the seminary and opened fire with a rifle, killing 8 people and wounding 35. Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld. "He opened fire at a number of students, the four students that he saw, and he was then in fact shot and killed at the entrance to the library. " Police say the gunman was a 25-year-old Palestinian resident of east Jerusalem. The attack was the worst to occur in Israel in two years. Israeli forces have restricted travel from the West Bank where the gunman lived until Saturday evening.

 

Iraqi security officials have raised the death toll from Thursday's twin bomb attacks in Baghdad to at least 68. Police say more than 120 people were wounded when the two bombs went off within minutes of each other, destroying shops and cars in the Karrada neighborhood in the Iraqi capital. No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks. A senior US military officer in Baghdad described the attack as a senseless act of violence directed against the Iraqi people.

 

Pakistan, in the midst of an attempt to form a new government, will see the parliament convened within two weeks. President Pervez Musharraf says he will call the national and provincial assemblies together. He is pledging to support the new government that will be formed by the lawmakers. VOA correspondent Steve Herman has more from Islamabad.

 

Under fire since the February 18 election for not calling parliament into session, President Pervez Musharraf on Friday announced that lawmakers are to convene here in a week or two. And the embattled leader promised there would be no hurdles put in their way as they try to form a new coalition government. A former general, speaking in Sindh province, praised the forces of moderation for triumphing in last month's elections. The president, whose fate after parliament convenes is a matter of intense speculation, is pledging to back the next government. Musharraf says that if peace is maintained, he will fully support the incoming government. Just who will head that government still remains unclear. The Pakistan People's Party, known as the PPP, has not yet announced whom it will nominate for prime minister. The party of the assassinated Benazir Bhutto was the best performer in the February 18 election and is negotiating with the runner-up - the party led by former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on the lineup for the new government. Steve Herman, VOA News, Islamabad.

 

Thailand says it will investigate a Russian man for illegal arms sales before it deports him to the United States where he is accused of trying to sell weapons to a rebel group in Colombia. Authorities displayed Viktor Bout to reporters in Bangkok today. US officials want him to be extradited after federal officials in New York charged him with conspiring to provide material support to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC. But Thai authorities say prosecutors have yet to decide if Bout will first face trial in their country on charges of giving weapons and financial support to terrorists. Bout faces up to 10 years in a Thai prison if convicted.

 

The UN Children's Fund says it has received permission from the government of Chad to return 103 children to their families. The children were taken from their homes in Chad by French charity workers who said they believe the children were orphans from Sudan's Darfur region. But an international investigation found most of the children were Chadian, with at least one parent or guardian alive. The children have been held in an orphanage for the past five months.

 

Georgia is criticizing Russia for lifting trade and financial sanctions on the Georgian separatist region of Abkhazia which is seeking recognition as an independent country. Georgia's Foreign Ministry issued a statement today, saying Russia's action is an attempt to infringe on Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

 

Zimbabwe is excluding the United States and European Union officials from a list of election monitors for the March 29th elections. The state-controlled "Herald" newspaper quoted the nation's foreign affairs minister as saying allies of President Robert Mugabe will serve as monitors. He said the government had selected 47 foreign observer teams from the African Union, Russia, Kenya, Iran and other nations that maintain relations with the Mugabe government.
