Somali parliament postpones PM no confidence vote

BAIDOA, Somalia, July 29 (Reuters) Somalia's interim parliament postponed today debate on a motion of no confidence in Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi, whom some lawmakers want to remove as a prelude to a peace deal with Islamists.

''Today we have buried our beloved minister, so there will be no meeting of parliament. The vote will wait for the next session,'' Information Minister Mohamed Abdi Hayr told Reuters, referring to yesterday's assassination of a cabinet colleague.
