Just one day after most U.S. military personnel left Iraq, an arrest warrant has been issued for the Iraqi Vice President, Tariq al-Hashemi.

The Iraqi courts also released what they call video confessions from al-Hashemi’s body guards, stating he ordered them to plant bombs around Baghdad.

Hashemi’s supporters say the warrant is politically motivated because he is Sunni Muslim, and his political rival, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, is Shia Muslim.
