FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MOI CONFIDENT IN ELECTION SECURITY PLAN
RELEASED ON BEHALF OF THE MINISTRY OF INTERIOR
The Ministry of the Interior (MOI) has developed a comprehensive security plan for the upcoming elections which will ensure a secure environment for Iraqis who are casting their votes.
Iraqi Security Forces will not only handle the security of the polling centers but will also ensure residents are able to vote without the fear of intimidation.
Under no circumstances will militia members be required or allowed to participate in the security of election polling centers. The Ministry of Interior will not allow any militia members within the vicinity of any polling center. This policy will be strictly enforced by Iraqi Security Forces countrywide.
The MOI is confident in its ability to secure the upcoming elections and encourages all eligible Iraqi citizens to vote on January 30, 2005.
For additional information please contact Dr. Sabah Kadhim at 1-914-822-4186.
I'm glad that you are confident in election security, but please don't speak French.
