Iraqi PM vows 'maximum force'

[ECH1969]

IRAQ'S Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki vowed to use "maximum force against terrorism", as bombs killed at least 19 people in Baghdad during the first meeting of his national unity Cabinet.

In a fresh reminder of the huge task Mr Maliki faces in reining in bloodshed that has pushed Iraq to the brink of sectarian civil war, blasts hit Baghdad, including one suicide bomber who killed at least 13 people and wounded 18 in a crowded restaurant popular with police. Police and civilians were among the dead.
