Austria's Gusenbauer Rejects Far-Right Coalition - by ERONIKA OLEKSYN

The leader of Austria's Social Democrats, which won the most seats in the country's parliamentary elections, on Monday ruled out forming a coalition with the country's two right-wing parties. Alfred Gusenbauer, who appeared set to become the next chancellor, said he was considering coalition talks with the center-right People's Party or the leftist Greens.

Gusenbauer, who is a self-proclaimed friend of the United States, said he was critical of the Bush administration and that he agreed the war in Iraq was not "a proper answer to 9/11."
