” Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki warned on Wednesday that the country is facing a ‘war of genocide’ after officials said militants had killed 48 people in two days of attacks. Violence has reached a level unseen since 2008, as Iraq emerged from brutal conflict between minority Sunnis and majority Shiites. Militants, including those linked to Al Qaida, a Sunni organisation, frequently target security forces and other government employees.”
