Iraqi military spokesman Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi said the lawmaker, Mohammed al-Dayni, was implicated in confessions from two former bodyguards who were arrested last week. Tapes of their interrogations were played at a news conference Sunday.

Al-Moussawi later told The Associated Press that an arrest warrant was issued for al-Dayni. Parliament also may need to vote to lift his immunity from prosecution.

The bodyguards claim al-Dayni was behind a wave of attacks, including the April 2007 blast inside the parliament cafeteria that killed a Sunni lawmaker.
