An Iraqi soldier secures a checkpoint in

Baghdad, IRAQ: An Iraqi soldier secures a checkpoint in a street in Baghdad, 18 June 2006. A wave of bombings and kidnapping have disrupted a massive security crackdown in war-torn Baghdad, as Al-Qaeda threatened to avenge the slaying of its Iraq front man Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. The violence challenged Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's latest security plan, which began earlier this week with the deployment of tens of thousands of Iraqi and US troops on Baghdad's streets. Additional roadblocks have been set up across the city as part of the bid to exploit any power vacuum in insurgent ranks following the killing of Zarqawi in a US air raid on a safe house north of the capital 07 June.
