Iraq PM says army to leave Anbar province cities
[Al Ahram] Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on Tuesday said the army will leave cities in Anbar province, in a bid to defuse tensions after security forces closed a major Sunni anti-government protest camp. Maliki called on "the armed forces to devote themselves to... pursuing Al-Qaeda hideouts in the desert of Anbar (province)" and for the army to turn over "the administration of the cities to the hand of the local and federal police," a statement on his website said.Posted by: Fred 2014-01-01 |
