Iraq forces admit lapses after blasts kill 95

"This operation shows negligence, and is considered a security breach for which Iraqi forces must take most of the blame," Moussawi told Iraqiya state television.

It also shows that the US Was responsible for controlling the Radical Muslim Extremists that Contaminate Iraq !
the Bigger Question to answer is Who And Why is this Happening so close to the US Pullout ?


BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A series of blasts in Baghdad killed 95 people and wounded 536 in Iraq's bloodiest day this year, prompting a rare admission of culpability from Iraqi security forces struggling to cope without U.S. help.

At least six blasts struck near government ministries and other targets at the heart of Iraq's Shi'ite-led administration, weeks after U.S. combat troops withdrew from urban centers in June, thrusting Iraq's security forces into the lead role.

"We must face the facts. We must admit our mistakes, just as we celebrate our victories," Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Mohammed al-Askari told a group of U.S. and Iraqi military officials on Wednesday.

His comments echoed earlier remarks by Baghdad's security spokesman, Major General Qassim al-Moussawi.

"This operation shows negligence, and is considered a security breach for which Iraqi forces must take most of the blame," Moussawi told Iraqiya state television.

His office said 10 Baghdad security officials had been detained pending an investigation into security breaches.
