Sunni bloc quit Iraqi government amid deadly surge and attacks
Baghdad faced turmoil as the largest Sunni Arab bloc withdrew from the cabinet while a suicide attack and other incidents killed at least 142 people nationwide. The move reduces Sunnis in the 40 member cabinet to two, complicating al Maliki’s push for reconciliation laws and oil revenue sharing. The U.S. reported four more soldier deaths, with three fatally wounded by a powerful armor piercing device in Baghdad believed to be supplied from Iran. President Bush urged unity in a 45 minute secure video conference with al Maliki as violence rose after July.
