Iraq's outgoing interior minister predicted Monday that his country's emerging police and army may be capable of securing the nation in 18 months,
saying his officers are beginning to take over from coalition forces.
Insurgents, meanwhile, targeted Shiite pilgrims, setting off two blasts that killed at least three people.
Interim Interior Minister Falah al-Naqib's comments came as security was heightened in the already heavily fortified Green Zone, where the National
Assembly will hold its long-awaited second session Tuesday to choose a parliament speaker and two deputies.

It would be great to see the war in Iraq end in 18 months. I don't think it will. We will have to see how this meeting goes. They also have Iraqs
most wanted terrorist, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi surrounded so hopefully that will help a lot.
