Iraqi army commander arrested after bombings
An Iraqi army brigade commander has been arrested after a string of bombings that killed more than 180 people around Baghdad.
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki says the officer was arrested because of the weakness of security measures to protect civilians in Sadriya a Baghdad marketplace where more than 120 people died in one bomb blast.
The marketplace attack was the worst of six bombs on a particularly bad day even by Baghdad standards.
