NO DOUBT THE GOAL OF THE DEADLY ATTACKS. - ed.
SUNDAY’S MASSIVE bomb blasts that killed at least 155 people in Baghdad have exacerbated factional bickering and failed to inject urgency into deliberations of senior Iraqi politicians on an election law for the projected January parliamentary poll.
Speaking for many Iraqis, Hadi al-Ameri, a deputy from the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council, castigated prime minister Nuri al-Maliki of the rival Dawa party.
He claimed Iraqi forces were capable of providing security on a daily basis and for the election.
“We’ve heard a lot of brouhaha about successes on the security front. Where are those successes?” Mr Ameri said.

2. Riyadh condemns Baghdad attacks, slams Israel over mosque
HOLLYWOOD HERE WE COME - ed.
Saudi Arabia on Monday condemned the twin suicide bombings that killed around 100 people in the heart of Baghdad in the deadliest day in Iraq for two years. Riyadh also called on the international community to respond to Israel's "violations of holy places in Jerusalem," after Israeli police clashed with Palestinians worshippers around the Al-Aqsa mosque compound.
The cabinet chaired by King Abdullah condemned "the terrorist attacks on government buildings in Baghdad which killed and wounded hundreds of innocent people," a statement said. Baghdad's governor has blamed negligence or even collusion by the security forces for Sunday's devastating bombings at the justice ministry and the capital's provincial government headquarters.
The Saudi cabinet also urged world powers "to accept their responsibilities in the face of (Israel's) violation of holy places in Jerusalem." Israeli police twice entered Al-Aqsa mosque compound on Sunday and clashed with stone-throwing Palestinian youths, after Muslim leaders called on their followers to defend the site.
