Lawmaker linked to attacks, Iraqi authorities say

Iraqi authorities Sunday linked a Sunni Arab lawmaker to a series of attacks and insurgent plots, including an April 2007 bombing that killed two of his own colleagues. The lawmaker, Mohammed al-Daini, denied the allegations in a televised statement and accused the government of “political blackmail.” But an Iraqi military spokesman showed videotaped statements from al-Daini’s bodyguards that appeared to implicate him in the plots.
