Security, Politics
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki stressed on Wednesday [13 December] that he will announce new security measures soon in order to improve the security situation in Iraq. During his reception of a US Congressional delegation headed by Senator John McCain, Al-Maliki said that he will announce new security measures in the upcoming days in order to improve the security plan. He renewed demands to expedite arming the Iraqi forces and to grant these forces more authorities and training so that they can be capable of undertaking security tasks all over Iraq.
Al-Maliki underlined the importance of proceeding with the reconciliation plan and expanding the political partnership so as to include all those who believe in giving greater weight to dialogue, abandoning weapons, respecting the rule of law, rejecting any armed manifestations by parties other than government agencies, and restricting weapons to the state's security services.
