Lawmaker: Iraqi security had tip-off before bombs

Iraqi security forces were tipped off to this week's suicide bombings in Baghdad just hours before the blasts killed 127 people, a Shiite lawmaker said Saturday after a closed-door parliamentary briefing by the nation's defense minister.

But the tip was too vague and came too late to stop the bombings, Defense Minister Abdul-Qader al-Obeidi told lawmakers, according to the legislator, who attended the discussion.
