Evading arrest, Iraqi VP denies hit squad claim
The day after the US officially withdrew all forces from Iraq, a warrant was issued for Iraq's Sunni Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi. Accused of running hit squads, this could either be good news for Iraq, or really really bad news.
Either Iraq is committed to purging the government of corruption (and strangely wanted to wait until the US had left to do it), or as the vice president claims, it could be an attempt of the Shiite led government to discredit him.
Either way it leads to more instability at a time when Iraq could hardly afford it.
