El primer ministro le pidio a milicianos de al-Qaida que cesen la lucha contra el ejercito iraqui en la provincia de Anb

Sunni families fleeing violence in Fallujah have arrived in the predominantly Shia city of Karbala. They left their homes in the Sunni-majority Anbar province due to clashes between government forces and Al-Qaeda-linked militants. Fighters from a branch of Al-Qaeda, known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, have taken control of central Fallujah and parts of Ramadi. The Iraqi Prime Minister has called on those who joined Al-Qaeda and are now besieged by the army in Anbar to cease fighting, hinting at a possible pardon if they lay down their arms.
