Baghdad. said 11 police and
army commanders over-
seeing security, trame and
intelligence services in the
targeted areas have been
detained on suspicion of
negligence.
Prime Minister Nouri
al-Malild convened an
emergency meeting late
Wednesday with senior
security and military om.-
cials to discuss "rapid mea-
sures to achieve security
and stability" in Baghdad
and surrounding areas, to
prevent insurgents from
rekindling violence ahead
of next year's elections,
Maliki's office said in a
statement.
Maliki blamed Sunni
insurgents linked to a1
Qacda in Iraq and said the
attacks were designed to
foil plans to reopen streets
and remove concrete blast
waUs from Baghdad's main
roads by mid-September.
He said the Iraqi gov-
ernment must reassess
security measures - the
first government acknowl-
edgment that the moves
may have been premature
so soon after U.S. troops
left the cities at the end of
June.

Restoratioll \vork
on synagogue revealed
FrO"l Miami H",r.)ld Win,. :,ervic<ls
CAIRO - The head of antiquities on Thursday
unveiled restoration work under way at one Egypt's
most tamoufi synagogues, a proj('ct he denied was.
meant to assuage Jewish anger at the country's culture
minister.
Culture Minister Romi Farouk, who is campaign-
ing to be the next head of the U.N. of rice that pro~
motes cultural diversity, outraged many Jews with his
comments in April 2008 vowing to burn any Israeli
books found in Egypt's famed Library of Alexandria.
The Egyptian goverrunent has. rallied around the
n-year--old culture minister, but the country's head of
antiquities, Zahi Hawass, said the deci"ion to restore
the Moses Ben Maimon Synag%'Uc in Cairo had noth-
ing to do with Hosni's candidacy.
The synagogue was named after Rabbi Moses Ben
Maimon, a famous physician. philosopher and Torah
scholar who was born in Cordoba, Spain, in 1135 A.D.
He ewntually moved to Cairo, whert~ he died in 1204
and was buried inside the synagogue.
