military operations to be conducted in western Iraq
(Al-Mashriq)
Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Ja'fari said he ordered
military operations in western Iraq after residents

terrorists. He added that the operations aimed to
provide security for residents, not to prevent them
from participating in politics. He asserted that the
terrorists, not the military operations, prevented
residents from participating in elections. He also
criticized the defence minister for saying he would
destroy residents' houses, noting that the
operations are conducted in the interests of the
people and not are not done against them.

that multinational forces remain in Iraq. She said

Iraq, but that parliament should have been

presence of the forces. The security council on
November 8 approved extending the mandate for one
year.
