Iraqi PM to announce full amnesty tonight to all groups that lay down arms

[ECH1969]

This offer was agreed in Nouri al-Mailiki’s talks with US President George W. Bush in Baghdad Tuesday, June 13. Some of the smaller guerrilla groups are already committed to the deal.

DEBKAfile reports from Baghdad: Iraqi National Security Adviser Mowaffaq al-Rubaie issued his assessment of al Qaeda’s fading prospects Thursday in order to persuade more insurgent groups to come forward and take up the government’s offer.

Ansar al Sunna, the largest Iraqi group federated with al Qaeda, has already struck back by murdering the prime minister’s cousin, Sabah al-Maliki, commander of the Shiite Badr Force Organization in western Iraq.

It will be interesting to see in a few hours if DEBKA is worth anything at all.

6. DEBKA is not worth anything at all.

they're the Capitol Hill Blue of Israel. Fantasies.

Not saying it wouldn't happen though. Except that we don't negotiate with terrorists, right? Makes Junior look like an appeaser. Eat that one, freeps.
