Three days after the black Sunday massacre, the political scene has changed on the ground in Iraq. Baghdad’s Governor Salah Abdul Razzaq accused security forces of holding back behind fortified zones instead of ascertaining security.
Baghdad Provincial Council has voted in its session to dismiss Interior Minister Jawad Al Boulani and Baghdad Operations Chief Abboud Qanbar on account of Baghdad gory bombings, Abdul Razzaq told reporters in a news conference.
During the news conference Abdulrazzaq showed video footage of the attacks which had been taken from surveillance cameras.
Two mini-buses were used in the attack, one of which was stolen after it belonged to Al Fallujah water directorate.
Lack of discipline and internal competition among army, intelligence and police forces are reasons for security failures, security experts said.
Iraq’s national coalition called for parliamentary supervision on intelligence apparatus and border security reassessment. The Coalition is calling as well upon the government to review border security agreements with neighboring countries and build up a regional security system to help achieve peace, ascertain regional security and curb terrorists’ infiltration.
Army Forces arrested tens suspects thought to be involved in Sunday’s attacks, a police source said.
In a special statement to Alsumaria, Imposing Law Operation spokesman Brigadier Qassem Ata affirmed that suspects who have neglected Iraqi people’s protection will be prosecuted.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hosheyar Zebari contacted US Secretary of State Gondoleeza Rice to affirm that Sunday’s bombings strengthen the need to send an international envoy to probe in Baghdad recent bombings which carry the same terrorist prints.
