Suicide bombers attack police recruitment center
POSTED: 9:00 a.m. EST, November 12, 2006

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Two suicide bombers strapped with explosives killed at least 35 Iraqis and wounded 60 more Sunday outside the national police headquarters in western Baghdad, an emergency police official said.

The victims were among dozens of men waiting outside the recruitment center to join the police force when the suicide bombers detonated their explosives belts.

At least 14 other people died in six separate bombings in Baghdad Sunday, police said. (Watch bombing victims rushed to hospitals -- 2:54)

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki called on his parliament Sunday to allow him to reshuffle his cabinet, according to a Kurdish member of the parliament.

Al-Maliki made the request during a closed-door session, said parliament member Mahmoud Othman.

After the session, al-Maliki noted that the cabinet, which includes Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish representatives, was already formed before he was chosen to be prime minister in April.

"I have said repeatedly that this cabinet was not my choice," al-Maliki told reporters. He said he would "have selected other than the current ministers or at least some of them."

Al-Maliki lashed out at lawmakers during the closed-door session, telling them their loyalty should be to a unified Iraq, not their religious sects or political parties, two members of parliament told The Associated Press. (Full story)
