The army, federal and local police, and government-sanctioned Shiite militias share security responsibility, manning checkpoints throughout the city. Iraqi's interior minister -- the man largely responsible for security in Baghdad -- submitted his resignation on Tuesday, two days after a massive bombing in the center of the capital killed 175 people and wounded almost 200. He said the Interior Ministry, which is in charge of the police, should have full responsibility for security inside Iraq's cities. But the extremists have continued to carry out near-daily bombings in and around Baghdad, as well as complex attacks in other countries. Al-Abadi also ordered the installation of X-ray systems at the entrances of Iraqi provinces, an upgraded security belt around Baghdad, increased aerial scanning and stepped-up in intelligence efforts.
