Iraqi prime minister says to pursue militants after bombings - Yahoo! News
"Scores of people were killed by the bombings over the Eid al-Fitr Muslim holiday in mainly Shi'ite Muslim areas, adding to the worst wave of violence in Iraq in at least five years.
Al Qaeda's merged Iraq and Syria branch said the bombings were in response to a security crackdown launched by Baghdad.
"The operations we have started - to go after the terrorist gangs and those who stand behind them - will continue unabated," Maliki said in a short speech broadcast on state television.
"We won't stop until we protect our people from all the means used for killing, crime and terrorism.""
