http://www.euronews.net/ Iraq's Shi'ite Prime Minister has called on Kurdish authorities to hand over Sunni Vice-President Tareq al-Hashemi.
Speaking at a news conference, Nuri al-Maliki urged the semi-autonomous region to take responsibility, after a warrant was issued for Hashemi's arrest. He is facing terror charges.
Hashemi, who denies the allegations, travelled to Kurdistan after Maliki's central government ordered his detention.
The arrest warrant came a day after US troops pulled out of Iraq.
