    Political Crisis Deepens in Iraq 




    Prime Minister Lashes Out at President as Security Forces Deploy Around Baghdad 

    BAGHDAD-Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki denounced Iraq's president on national television Sunday for failing to nominate him for another term as prime minister, as security forces deployed in unusual numbers throughout the capital.

    It was unclear early Monday how far Mr. Maliki intended to press his concerns; he said only that he would take the newly elected President Fuad Masum to court for allegedly violating the constitution.

    But his fiery tone, history of obstinance and the surprising deployment of security forces in Baghdad sparked whispers that the prime minister may intend to cling to power by force. That could throw further political instability on a country already cleaved apart by a powerful Islamist uprising.

    "We have noticed suspicious security movements in Baghdad, distribution for forces and tanks which if persist can be considered a coup," a former senior Kurdish official involved in the negotiations said. "So far, we have not reached that point. It's only Maliki showing his muscles."

    The security forces were deploying particularly in the so-called Green Zone, which includes the prime minister's home as well as the parliament building, crucial government offices and many embassies. The president's home is located elsewhere.

    Without explaining what the confrontation was all about, US officials, who have made clear their desire to see a new leader who could form an inclusive government, threw their support behind Mr. Masum.
