(Al-Sabaah) MP Sami A'skari said that the first phase of the new security plan would be purely Iraqi and that the Commander of the plan would have absolute power. He added in a press statement that Liet. Gen. A'abud Qanbar wouldn’t allow leaders of political blocs to intervene in security forces' affairs, and stressed giving complete powers to the commanders of 10 areas in Baghdad about the same matter. A'skari mentioned that Prime Minister Noori Maliki warned political leaders not to intervene in the security plans and he ordered the Army's officers not to accept any orders from political parties.
