Iraqi FM To BBC: Syria Was Involved in Iraqi Bombings

Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zibari has told the BBC that his government has "strong and tangible evidence" about Syria's involvement in the bombings of two key government agencies last Sunday.

The destruction of the ministry of justice and the governorate of Baghdad resulted in the death of 155 people and the wounding of hundreds more.

Zibari said that Syria is providing a safe haven to those involved in the bombings, and called on the international community to help his country stand against those he called rebels and suicide bombers.
