Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki blamed “diabolical” and “treacherous” Arab countries for a protracted surge in nationwide violence in a speech on Sunday, but stopped short of naming individual countries.
The premier said suicide bombers were coming to Iraq from as far as Morocco, Libya and Yemen, but did not single out countries he described as “evil” which he said were supporting violent extremists in Iraq.
