(Mutlaq): Integrating Militias Into Armed Forces is Dangerous

National Dialogue List leader Saleh al-Mutlaq said incoming prime minister Noori al-Maliki's call to integrate the militias into the army and armed forces was a dangerous issue that all should (speak out against.) He said he has conditions to participate in the next government. Mutlaq said the ministries of defence, interior, and intelligence must be run by independent national figures who can work independent of corruption that (he said) is overwhelming the ministries. (Sunni Arab leaders, including Mutlaq, are concerned that Shia militias are working with the predominantly Shia security forces to persecute Sunni Arabs.)
