Iraq's Foreign Minister had a shocking announcement Saturday--he suspects the country's own security forces of being complicit with the coordinated attack on Wednesday that killed more than 100 people, including many of his employees. "The operation was organized and planned for months," Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said. "I don't rule out that there was collaboration by the security forces." Zebari, a Kurd, accused Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's administration of overestimating its ability to protect its citizens out of pride when it removed a line of concrete walls around the Foreign Ministry. Wednesday's attacks on the foreign and finance ministries were the deadliest since the June 30 withdrawal of U.S. troops.
