Not sure how reliable this is.,...since it seems to be quite a mix of recent news and older news.....
“Meanwhile, Iraqi President Jalal al-Talabani condemned the killing of Riyad al-Nuri....”
Uh, I’m lost. Either al-Talabani is in favor of a strong government and no private armies, or is in favor of private armies at the expense of government power. Can anyone imagine most countries tolerating private armies?
