Tensions build as Iraqi leader accrues powers (AP)

FILE - In this Monday, Dec. 12, 2011 file photo, Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki gestures during his news conference with President Barack Obama in the South Court Auditorium on the White House complex in Washington.

The moves confirmed what many long-time observers of Iraqi politics have suspected since al-Maliki came to office more than five years ago — that he has an authoritarian streak and beneath his tireless rhetoric about national unity is essentially a sectarian politician.(AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, File)AP - In the week since the last American troops left Iraq, Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ordered an arrest warrant for the country's highest-ranking Sunni official, threatened to exclude the rival sect's main political party from his government and warned that "rivers of blood" would flow if Sunnis seek an autonomous region.
