Bomb hidden in trash kills 2 in Baghdad

Govt blames foreign groups for blasts

AP, AFP, Baghdad
An Iraqi police official says a bomb hidden in a garbage heap has killed two people in north ern Baghdad.
1 he official says the blast occurred yesterday at about 8 am as street sweepers were cleaning in the Sunni neighbourhood of Azamiyah. He says two street sweepers were killed and three passers-by were wounded.
The official spoke on condition of ano-nymity because he was not authorized to release the information.
The explosion comes a day after a series of bombings targeted government buildings in Baghdad, killing at least 127 people and wounding more than 500. Funerals were starting in Baghdad for the bombing victims.
Meanwhile, the attackers who carried out a series of co-ordinated bombings in Baghdad on Tuesday that killed 127 people were backed by groups based in Syria or Saudi Arabia, a senior Iraqi policeman said on Wednesday.
"This material could not have been manufactured in Baghdad, it came from abroad," Major General Jihad al-Jaabiri, the head of Iraq's explosives unit, told reporters.
"Neighbouring countries helped them. The operation required lots of funding, which came from Syria or Saudi Arabia."
An interior ministry official said 127 people had been killed and 448 wounded in Tuesday's bombings.
Iraq's prime minister is calling on Iraqis to
stand by their security forces following the string of attacks in Baghdad that have angered lawmakers demanding answers and calling for resignations of security leaders.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki asked Iraqis to be patient and remain steadfast during a televised address Wednesday on state run television.
Al-Maliki and his top security officials have come under fire for security lapses following Tuesday's attacks, the third against government buildings in Baghdad since summer.
Parliamentary lawmakers have called on Iraq's top security officials to appear Thursday before a special session to answer for how bombers found holes in Iraqi security.
The spokesman for the parliament speaker says lawmakers want Iraq's ministers of defence and interior to appear at Thursday's session, called over the attacks the previous day that killed at least 127 people.
It was the third large-scale attack against prominent government buildings in the Iraqi capital since August.
Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani agreed Wednesday to attend the session under one condition. A statement from his office said al-Bolani would appear only if the session isn't held behind closed doors.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is also expected to attend the session.
