Iraq Vows 'Maximum Force'

Jacob Cherian - All Headline News Contributor

Baghdad, Iraq (AHN)--Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki vowed to use "maximum force against terrorism."

In a reminder of the huge task facing the new Prime Minister, a string of blasts hit Baghdad, including one suicide bomber who killed at least 13 people and wounded 18 in a crowded restaurant.

Reuters reports that the dead included police and civilians. The Shi'ite Islamist, briefing reporters after the cabinet meeting, said that his government would hold out the offer of dialogue to insurgents who lay down weapons.

However, he vowed to reimpose the state's monopoly on the armed forces, cracking down on militias.
