Officials in Tehran ordered some anti-American billboards and banners taken down.  That they were put up in the first place might reflect a backlash by hardliners against the more moderate tone taken by new President Hassan Rouhani.  The banners depicted a US diplomat wearing a  suit, but underneath the negotiating table he wore military pants and pointed a gun at Iran.  Another one has a Doberman Pincher dog.

Sunday in Baghdad seems to mean “car bombs”.  At least 50 people were killed and dozens more were wounded in a series of ten car bomb blasts in the Iraqi capital and other areas of the country.  Iraq’s PM will travel to Washington to seek President Obama’s help in combating sectarian violence spilling over from Syria’s civil war.

Thousands of Spaniards rallied over the weekend in protest of a European court ruling that could have dozens of Basque separatist ETA terrorists released from prison.  Protesters blamed Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who opposes the releases, of not fighting hard enough.  The ETA called off its four-decade independence campaign in 2011, but not before more than 800 people were killed in bombings and other violence.
