Iraqi PM asks for patience after Baghdad bombings


By CHELSEA J. CARTER (AP)



BAGHDAD — The prime minister appealed Wednesday to Iraqis to stand by their security forces, even as angry lawmakers demanded answers and called on top officials to resign following the third massive attack against government sites since summer.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and his interior minister were expected to appear before a special parliamentary session Thursday to answer lawmakers' questions on how bombers once again found holes in security in heavily guarded central Baghdad, according to a spokesman for parliament's speaker.

On Wednesday, al-Maliki asked Iraqis for patience and warned against fomenting political divisions following Tuesday's string of suicide bombings that killed at least 127 people and wounded over 500 in the Iraqi capital.

"I call on the Iraqi people for more patience and steadfastness," he said in a televised address.

The deadly bombings raised tough questions for al-Maliki about the abilities of Iraq's security forces ahead of next year's withdrawal of U.S. combat troops. The U.S. military has warned of a possible rise in violence ahead of the March 7 parliamentary elections.

Ayad al-Samarie, the parliament speaker, called on the ministers of defense and interior as well as the commander of Baghdad military operations to appear before the special session, said Omar al-Mashhadani, the speaker's spokesman. Other security officials have also been asked to appear, he added.

Top security officials have been called twice before — and failed to show up — to answer questions in parliament about security lapses, after suicide bombers in August and October killed hundreds in attacks on other government buildings.

This time, Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani agreed to attend the session under one condition — that it not be held behind closed doors, according to a statement released by his office. It was not known if other officials would attend.

Al-Maliki also was expected to attend the session, al-Mashhadani said.

The prime minister has so far not sacked any of this top security advisers, but there have been growing calls for resignations following the most recent attacks. Al-Maliki has been running for re-election on a platform of improved security, and any perceived security failures could cost him as well as his political party at the polls.

The U.S. military has said it will keep the bulk of its 120,000 troops in place in Iraq until after the election.

Abbas al-Bayati, the head of parliament's defense committee, said Iraq must have an emergency plan to deal with any violence ahead of the elections.

"The Iraqi people need convincing answers from the security commanders," al-Bayati told state run television. "If the security falls apart, then everything will collapse."

There have been no claims of responsibility for the latest attacks, though Iraq has claimed al-Qaida and loyalists of Saddam Hussein's Baath party were behind the August and October as well as the most recent bombings.

Al-Maliki appeared to demand that Syria must do more to stop senior Baath Party officials living on its territory from plotting attacks against Iraq. The prime minister has in the past accused Syria of harboring senior Baathists who masterminded attacks in Iraq. Syria denies the charges.

"I demand of the international community and all countries, including neighboring countries, who condemn the attacks to turn their words into actions and support the Iraqi people and the Iraqi government by confronting terrorism," al-Maliki said.

While violence has dramatically declined in Iraq, insurgents have continued with some regularity to launch attacks against security forces and civilians.

On Wednesday, there were scattered reports of violence across the capital.

A bomb attached to a minibus exploded in northern Baghdad, killing two and injuring 11, an Iraqi army official said.

A bomb hidden in a garbage heap killed two street sweepers and injured three passers-by in northern Baghdad, while an hour later in the same neighborhood a gunman killed a police officer at a checkpoint, police said.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.

Meanwhile, rescue operations were halted Wednesday around the labor and finance ministries as well as the court complex after crews completed their search through debris, said police Col. Safaa Saadi Jawad, the deputy head of the Interior Ministry's rescue operations.

"If we receive reports from families of missing people, we will look some more," he said.

Funerals were under way for bombing victims. Some families carried black flag-draped coffins through the streets, while others waited at the morgue to claim bodies authorities were still working to identify.

Associated Press Writer Sinan Salaheddin contributed to this report.

So there you have it Mr McCormick yet again your stick on a swivel fails and costs the lives of over 125 Iraqi People. I would mind not betting that the Ministers that refused to attend the high level meeting were ones involved in the corrupt purchase of the scam known as the ADE651.

The Success of the ADE........

It is good to note that the ADE is proving such a deterrent in Iraq........

Iraq blasts in Fallouja and Mosul kill at least 18, including 2 U.S. soldiers

Suicide bombers, explosions rock Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Three suicide bombers and a car bomb in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Saturday capped off a day of nationwide violence that left at least 15 people dead and 94 wounded, police and Iraqi officials said.
Six people were killed and five were hurt when a suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest walked up to an Iraqi police checkpoint in Mosul, according to an Interior Ministry official.
Two of the dead were police officers.

Iraq explosions kill 11;
At Yarmouk Hospital in west Baghdad, a car bomb killed two people and wounded 13 as they entered the clinic, according to police Lt. Thaer Mahmoud

Consecutive explosions strike Iraq Azamiya

Al Azamiya was stricken by the thunder of terrorism as two consecutive explosions rocked the region killing tens of people and causing chaos all over the city leaving citizens in despair.

Explosions rock Iraq's capital

Explosions went off near the heavily fortified Green Zone shortly after Cheney arrived. Helicopter gunships circled central Baghdad, but no details were immediately available on the cause of the explosions.

Explosions and Shootings Disrupt Relative Calm in Iraq
Explosions felt in separate Iraqi neighborhoods
Two explosions in different parts of Iraq on the weekend killed 14 people and left scores injured.
12 explosions in Iraq kill at least 152
A dozen explosions ripped through the Iraqi capital in rapid succession Wednesday, killing at least 152 people and wounding 542 in a series of attacks that began with a suicide car bombing that targeted laborers assembled to find work for the day.

And the list goes on and on...........

I cannot help but notice that all the ADE units the Iraqi Police/Army bought are proving such a deterrent against bomb attacks.............This Mr Jim highlights the nonsense that the ADE can detect explosives. Where are the 'success' stories, the arrests, the explosive finds?
The truth is that the deployment of the ADE in Iraq has made absolutely no difference in the amount of attacks using explosives whatsoever.
So much for Mr Jims 'real world testing'!!!!!!
