http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2006-06-17-iraq-violence_x.htmJust last night in Baghdad 27 people killed to avenge the death of Zarqawi.
The spree of bombings and mortar attacks in Baghdad was an embarrassment for Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who ordered more police and army checkpoints for the city last week to restore security for its 5 million residents.
His Sunni Arab deputy prime minister, Salam Zikam Ali al-Zubaie, charged that the plan was not properly thought out and needed more work.
"I can say that I am not pleased with the way the Baghdad security plan began," he told al-Jazeera television. "The Baghdad plan has begun, but it will need a year or more to finish."
Al-Zubaie said the Interior Ministry, which is responsible for Iraq's police forces, first has to be cleansed of people who may be responsible for "human rights violations." Many Sunnis charge that Shiite-dominated security services have been infiltrated by Shiite militias blamed for sectarian violence.
