Maliki Still Losing Power in Iraq

2007-01-18

At least five bombs struck Baghdad today as deadly attacks continued despite a crackdown against militia and criminal activity announced by the Iraqi government, and backed by U.S. troops. The U.S. military also arrested members of the Jeish Al-Mehdi, a Shiite militia that has taken over some neighborhoods in Baghdad and fights rival militias in others. As war continues in Baghdad and Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki is accused of bowing to U.S. pressure in allowing the arrest of Shiite militiamen, one powerful religious leader has called for new elections. Hiba Dawood and David Enders report.
