BAGHDAD — Iraq's state television has shown what it says are confessions of alleged conspirators in October bombings of government offices that killed more than 150 people.
Baghdad's military spokesman says the three men planned the Oct. 25 attacks in the heavily protected center of Baghdad.
Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi made the announcement at a televised news conference Sunday, and al-Iraqiya state television later broadcast a video of three men who said they had connections with Saddam Hussein's outlawed Baath party.
The men said they were involved in the surveillance of the targets and escorting vehicles carrying bombs into Baghdad. There was no way to independently verify their accounts
