Violence has returned to the streets of Iraq, with one of the bloodiest weeks seen since the withdrawal of US troops in December. The situation has not been this bad in a long time, with more coordinated bomb attacks, more deaths, and with it sectarian tensions stirred up once again. In addition to this, there have also been repeated calls for a vote of no confidence against Nouri al-Maliki, the Iraqi prime minister. Who is behind the recent spate of deadly attacks and is there political capacity to bring the situation under control? Guests: Ghassan Al-Attiyah, Richard Weitz, Mahjoob Zweiri.
