BAGHDAD/ Aswat al-Iraq: Premier Nouri al-Maliki charged "denominational politicians of being responsible for the explosions", calling to "put them to justice".

During his meeting with south and mid-Euphrates governors and chairmen of provincial councils, he shouldered responsibility on them for the delay in services.

He pointed out that "the provinces, demanding the reforms, did not implement their designed projects in full, but only 26% of their budgets".

Maliki called to adhere to Iraqi unity, provision services, eradicate unemployment and housing crisis, as well as combating poverty through investment projects.

He warned against "vicious campaign to make denominationalism return to the country".

Since 22 December 2012, Anbar province witnessed massive demonstrations and sit-in, in addition to Ninewa, Salahal-Din, Diala, Kirkuk and Baghdad demanding the release of innocent detainees and prisoners, while others called for toppling Maliki's government.
