Fed: Insurgents have infiltrated Iraqi security forces: Nelson

Defence Minister BRENDAN NELSON says a suicide bomb attack in Baghdad shows the Iraqi
security forces have probably been infiltrated by insurgents.

A man has blown himself up in the Iraqi parliament canteen .. inside Baghdad's Green
Zone .. killing up to eight people.

It's a staggering breach of security at Iraq's most heavily guarded site.

Mr NELSON says there'll be a full investigation into how the bomber got into the compound.

He's told ABC radio .. it's disappointing the attack could occur in the middle of a
security crackdown .. but says it'll only strengthen their resolve to see the job through.

Mr NELSON says the attack is most certainly aimed at crippling the developing democracy.
