<<Iraqi Groups Grab Power in Key City, Factions Fight>> Wed Apr 30,11:21 AM ET By Saul Hudson BAQUBA, Iraq (Reuters) - Iraqi exile groups have grabbed control of the government in a major northeastern city but die-hard Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) loyalists and feuding armed militia threaten to undermine the power-sharing deal. The new government's authority is already challenged by the exiled Iranian militia People's Mujahideen who control a main highway about 13 miles from the city of Baquba with mounted gun positions behind sandbags at a checkpoint. The volatile mix poses problems for the United States as it tries to stabilize Iraq (news - web sites) after toppling Saddam, especially because its soldiers only established a base last weekend in Baquba, the capital of Diala province which stretches from the fringes of Baghdad to the Iranian border. A returning exile espousing political independence sits in the mayor's office, the Iran-backed Shi'ite Muslim group -- the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) -- occupies the local parliament and a Kurdish party with armed guards in military fatigues and sneakers has taken up residence in a state sports complex. story.news.yahoo.com
