Iraq interior minister discuss with Sadr ways to end clashes

BAGHDAD, Oct 21 (KUNA) -- Iraqi Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani discussed on Saturday with Shiite cleric and militia leader Moqtada al-Sadr ways to end the serious clashes between militias and government police forces in a number of cities including Amara, Suwairia, Hindiya and Hashimiyah.

Al-Bolani said after meeting Sadr that they discussed a number what he called "regrettable events" and ways to prepare the forces to contain the flaring situations.

He said that the situation now has changed and is under control.

He pointed to a number of legal measures and other steps that need to be taken after a probe, in addition to the investigations of the ministerial committee.

Government forces' stations were burned in the city of Amara on Thursday and Friday when militiamen claiming nominal loyalty to Sadr retaliated for the police arrest of one of their members.

At least 25 people died including 15 armed men of Sadr and 10 from the Iraqi police. Some 55 others were wounded.

Furthermore, second Lieutenant in Suwaira Ali Naeema said that at least nine armed men were killed and five civilians wounded in armed clashes between Al-Mahdi militias and Iraqi police in central of the city, some 45 kilometers south of Baghdad. (end) mhg
