Iran accuses US, UK of aiding Sunnis

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran vowed retaliation Monday after accusing Pakistan, the U.S. and Britain of aiding Sunni militants who stunned the Islamic regime with a suicide bombing that killed top Revolutionary Guard commanders and dozens of others.
A commentary by the official news agency called on Iranian security forces "to seriously deal with Pakistan once and for all." And President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told his Pakistani counterpart that his nation must hunt down suspected members of Jundallah, or Soldiers of God.
Iran made no specific threats against the U.S. or Britain, but the accusations came as talks began in Vienna over Iran's nuclear program.

"The presence of terrorist elements in Pakistan is not justifiable and the Pakistani government needs to help arrest and punish
Iranians attend a funeral ceremony for victims who were killed in Sunday's suicide bombing at the city of Zheadan, 960 miles southeast of the capital Tehran on Monday. Iran accused the U.S. and other countries of aiding Sunni militants responsible for the bombing.
The U.S. is part of those talks, which observers said made little headway Monday beyond spelling out each side's position.
Sunday's attack occurred in a region that is home to several minority Sunni tribes in rugged southeastern Iran. It is one of the country's most restive areas. Until now, authorities have avoided widespread security offensives that could draw in outside extremists such as al-Qaida.
In May, the two countries signed a landmark pact for a natural gas pipeline into Pakistan. Pakistan's
president quickly condemned the attack that killed at least 42 people — including five senior
Revolutionary Guard officers — in a district near Iran's border with Pakistan.

EDUCATION Hawaii creates shortest school year in the country
Obama wants schools to add time to classes, to stay open late and to let kids in on weekends so they have a safe place to go. He declared recently that "the challenges of a new century demand more time in the classroom."
The deal whacks 17 days from the school year for budget-cutting reasons and has education advocates inscended that Hawaii is drastically cutting the academic calendar at a time when it already ranks near the bottom in national educational achievement.
HONOLULU — At a time when President Barack Obama is pushing for more time in the classroom, his home state has created the nation's shortest school year under a new union contract that closes schools on most Fridays for the remainder of the academic calendar.
