Shiite premier vows cabinet reshuffle amid deadly sectarian violence
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki pledged a cabinet shake up after accusing lawmakers of disloyalty and blaming Sunnis for a surge in sectarian killings that left at least 159 dead. The toll includes 50 bodies found near Baquba and 35 in Baghdad. Three U S troops and four British service members also died. Defense Minister Abdul Qadir al Obaidi challenged Maliki's demand to hasten a U S pullback and said Iraqi forces still need time and equipment to assume security duties. Maliki insisted the army could suppress the unrest within six months if left to operate alone.
