VIENNA, Austria (CNN) — The International Atomic Energy Agency’s board of governors ended their first session of talks on whether to delay reporting Iran to the U.N. Security Council amid threats by the Islamic state that it would start enriching uranium if its nuclear activities were sent to the council.
"There is a disagreement among board members whether to report the Iranian issue now to the Security Council or at a later stage," IAEA Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei said Thursday.
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) — A possible tornado damaged parts of Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and surrounding businesses in pre-dawn hours Thursday in suburban New Orleans, said police in Kenner, west of the city.
Police also reported damage in New Orleans, particularly in the Lakeview area near the 17th Street Canal — among the places hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina. The city is still reeling from the devastating flooding the hurricane caused last fall.
Kenner authorities said they had no reports of injuries, but New Orleans police received a report of a man being transported to a hospital, said Sgt. Michael Brenckle. Brenckle said he didn’t know the extent of the man’s injuries.
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — Two car bombs exploded minutes apart in southern Baghdad, killing at least 16 people and wounding more than 90 others, Iraqi police said.
The cars were parked near a gas station and at a market when they exploded Thursday evening.
The U.S. military also announced Thursday that five U.S. troops were killed the day before in separate attacks.
The car bombings came hours after officials said an Iraqi woman was killed in a overnight battle between a radical militia and coalition forces.
