Iraq's Shiite-led government issued an arrest warrant for the Sunni vice president Tariq al-Hashemi accusing him of involvement in terrorist activities. At the meantime the Iraqi prime minister Nouri Maleki called the Iraqi parliament to fire its deputy Saleh al-Mutlaq because he supports Sadam Huseyn and the Baath party . Al-Hashemi is an old rival of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, and the arrest order came two days after the main Sunni-backed political bloc, Iraqiya, suspended its participation in parliament because al-Maliki refused to give up control over key posts.
