Interior minister offers ransom for arrest of insurgents

Security, Insurgency, Politics
Interior minister, Mr. Jawad Al-Bolani, decided to grant three million Iraqi Dinars (US$ 2,000) to any person who can arrest a terrorist group which has carried out an operation against Iraqi civilians. The decision had been issued during the minister's meeting with some interior ministry officials and officers of the national police. The assistant of the interior minister under-secretary, General Ahmad Kalaf Al-Jobori, will hold an expanded meeting with Iraqi army and police leaders and the Anbar deliverance council to discuss means of supporting the security forces and the civilians in their battle against terrorism.
COMMENT: It appears there is some development politically in tackling the worsening security situation if the Interior Ministry is to hold talks with the Iraqi army and police leaders and tribal heads to create a stronger support network. The question is whether they will be able to agree, and if they achieve that, if and how long it takes them to implement a plan. COMMENT ENDS.
