Update — Maliki fired Bagh­dad secu­rity chief Abboud Qan­bar (he is a very close friend of Maliki, Maliki just saved Qan­bar from ques­tion­ing in the parliament) –

- After long silence, Muq­tada Al-Sadr is back, cam­paign­ing for the elec­tion with a state­ment ask­ing his “spe­cial forces” (Liwaa Al-Youm Al-Mawoud” = “Judg­ment Day Brigade” (formed after sign­ing SOFA) to inten­sify their attacks on the Amer­i­can forces and avoid civil­ians, stress­ing on the ban of any nego­ti­a­tions with the occupation.

The inter­est­ing in his let­ter is that he calls the split group “Asaib Ahil Al-Haq” to return to main Sadrists move­ment 9last year Muq­tada Al-Sadr for­bid his fol­lower to con­tact Asaib group.

- This is already reported by the main­stream media and I reported it yes­ter­day, that the par­lia­ment wants to ques­tion Maliki and the secu­rity min­is­ters (Inte­rior and Defense) — strange is that the head of the Iraqi intel­li­gence is not included-

What is not reported is the following:

- Maliki is lob­by­ing by polit­i­cal par­ties to allow him fir­ing Al-Bolani (Inte­rior Min­is­ter) and Qan­bar (Head of Bagh­dad secu­rity unite).

- Bolani accepted to appear before par­lia­ment on one con­di­tion that the ques­tion­ing ses­sion to be pub­lic. Bolani also said that Nuri Al-Maliki is the one to blame because Baghdad’s Secu­rity Com­mand is under Maliki’s com­mand and not linked to the Min­istries of Inte­rior or Defense.

Later Bolani announced that his min­istry has the infor­ma­tion of the move­ments of some par­ties and polit­i­cal blocs ivolved in the vio­lence, by imple­ment­ing an inter­na­tional and regional agen­das in Iraq.

- I said yes­ter­day that ques­tion­ing Maliki in the par­lia­ment means the end of Maliki. MPs from the Dawa Party told Bahraini news­pa­per Akhbar-Alkhaleej, that Maliki will not attend the ques­tion­ing ses­sion in the Par­lia­ment under any cir­cum­stances, stress­ing that the pur­pose of ques­tion­ing is to weaken Maliki’s pop­u­lar­ity. Notice That Maliki’s speech today he promised to change the secu­rity offi­cers, which is a pre­ven­tive mea­sure makes him bypass the par­lia­ment ques­tion­ing ses­sion.

- An Iraqi high-rank offi­cer blamed Saudi Ara­bia and Syria, say­ing that the explo­sives used are very sophis­ti­cated, he also made a live demon­stra­tion to show that there is noth­ing wrong with explo­sive detec­tors devices.

- Just like the pre­vi­ous wave of explo­sions, it came at the time when there are some improve­ments in Iraq — Syria rela­tions as reported today by Syr­ian news­pa­per Al-Watan: “Iraq offi­cially requests to par­tic­i­pate in the Arab-Turkish Forum, in Dam­as­cus. Just like the pre­vi­ous sce­nario Maliki blamed Syria.

- Sim­i­lar events between the two waves of bomb­ings: 1) vio­lence in Iran. 2) leaked infor­ma­tion about Baath Party nego­ti­at­ing the Americans.

For­mer secu­rity offi­cer, and for­mer Talabani’s secu­rity adviser Wafiq Al-Samarai, noticed the fol­low­ing:

Those who did the bomb­ing can:

- Pro­vide the enough num­ber of peo­ple to exe­cute the bomb­ing in an open geo­graph­i­cal area.

- The abil­ity to col­lect, ana­lyze and imple­ment the infor­ma­tion by a uni­fied cen­tral plan­ning, not nec­es­sar­ily to be away from the oper­a­tion area.

- Link the wave of bomb­ings to events and on cer­tain occa­sions, what hap­pened yes­ter­day may be linked to the debates in par­lia­ment between polit­i­cal rivals, whether directly or indirectly.
