BAGHDAD, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- Baghdad governor on Tuesday said that his council voted to demand resignation of Iraqi minister of interior and chief of Baghdad operations command over Sunday's bloody blasts that enraged Iraqis and shaped a setback to the Iraqi government which struggle to restore normalcy in the country nearly three months ahead of the country's national elections.

    In a press conference, Salah Abdul Razaq, the governor of Baghdad told reporters that "Baghdad Provincial Council has approved the demand the resignation of the minister of interior (Jawad al-Bolani), and the Baghdad Operations Commander (Lieutenant General Abboud Qamber)," for their failure in providing security to the Iraqi capital."

    Razzaq also demanded the security officers who approved failed to carry out their duties to sue to court martial.

    The governor showed the reporters at the televised press conference a CCTV footage of the explosions on a large screen.

    Razzaq and the provincial council have no authority to sack Bolani or Qamber, but their vote today reflects the anger among Iraqis toward the performance of the Iraqi security forces and the Iraqi government.

    On Sunday, a twin truck bombings rocked Baghdad's Salhiyah neighborhood targeted the ministry of Justice and Baghdad Provincial Council buildings, killing some 155 people and wounding more than 500 others.

    The two attacks appear to be the biggest since the deadly attacks on Aug. 19 when suicide truck bomb attacks targeted two Iraqi ministries, killing and wounding some 1,300 Iraqis.

    Sunday's blasts came as violence dropped dramatically during the past two years since the spike of sectarian strife that claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the war-torn country. The attacks revealed the nature of the security situation in the country that insurgents still have the ability to carry out deadly attacks in the heart of Baghdad.
