25 January 2007
Iraq's prime minister says his new security plan for Baghdad will leave no sanctuaries 1 for militants 2 to hide, not mosques 3, schools, or offices of political parties. VOA's Jim Randle reports from Baghdad, where Mr. Maliki spoke 4 to a stormy session of Parliament.
Nouri al-Maliki (6 Jan 2007)
In a speech to parliament, Mr. Maliki urged politicians from all of Iraq's communities to support the new security plan.
He says his plan is part of a continuous battle with terrorists, rather than a one-time effort.
Discussion in parliament became so heated at times that the video and sound of the proceedings 5 were briefly 6 turned off until lawmakers could calm down.
The spiraling cycle of violence on Baghdad's streets is blamed on Sunni insurgents 8, and their Shi'ite militia 9 rivals. One such militia is loyal to radical 10 Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, a key supporter of the Maliki government.
In the past, Mr. Maliki has been reluctant to allow military and police forces to pursue some Shi'ite militia groups, but he repeated a pledge that officials will track down anyone who breaks the law, regardless of politics or religion.

Meanwhile at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Iraqi Vice 12 President Adel Abdul Mahdi said he did not think the insurgent 7 groups had the support of the Iraqi people.
"We think those organizations, those terrorists and insurgency 13 organizations and militias 14; we do not think they are popular," he said. "We think they are taking the country and society as hostages and targeting easy targets, markets, schools, any easy targets, civilians 15, etc."
Late in the day in Baghdad, two mortar 16 shells struck the heavily-fortified Green Zone and shortly after a car bomb caused at least two deaths on the city's east bank of the Tigris River.
Earlier, at least four Iraqis died and more were wounded when a motorcycle laden 17 with explosives blew up in a central Baghdad market.
Also in Baghdad, an Iraqi court postponed 18 a decision on whether to execute Saddam Hussein's former deputy, Taha Yassin Ramadan, for crimes against humanity.
The court had been expected to change Ramadan's sentence after an appeals court said his life-sentence was too lenient 19. Saddam and two other co-defendants have already been executed for crimes committed during his years in power.
