The command of the occupation troops in Iraq decided to disarm the Badr Corps - the Armed detachments of the Shiite Party "The Higher Council of the Islamic Revolution".
According to Monday RIA Novosti with reference to the AZ-Zaman Iraqi newspaper, this issue is the topic of closed negotiations between representatives of the command of the coalition troops and the leadership of this party.
The armed formations of those parties that helped the coalition troops during the war will be able to maintain their weapons. We are talking about the fighters of the "Democratic Party of Kurdistan" and the "Patriotic Union of Kurdistan", as well as the detachments of "Iraqi National Congress" Ahmed Chalabi.
According to the newspaper, one of the commanders of the Badr Corps said: "We did not fought with the coalition troops, but did not fight against them. We will not go to disarmament at a time when other Iraqi parties have their own armed groups."
The leadership of the Party of the “Higher Council of the Islamic Revolution” and the troops of the “Badr Corps” returned to Iraq in early May after more than 22 years in exile in Iran.
The United States announced the dissolution of Iraqi Armed Forces and security services
"The new Iraqi army will be created in the near future. This will be the first step towards the formation of the National Defense of Free Iraq," the American administration said.
"The professional army, well -equipped, which is outside the policy and representing all the Iraqis, will be under civil control," the document says.
This decision was made after the UN Security Council granted the US and the UK on the eve of the wider powers in the management of Iraq.
The UN Security Council also allowed the occupation forces to use Iraq oil resources in order to finance the country's restoration. Recall that on Thursday, members of the UN Security Council voted for lifting international sanctions against Iraq, imposed on this country in 1990 due to the invasion of Kuwait.
It is worth noting that, in essence, the Iraqi army was almost disbanded as a result of the war, which overthrew the regime of President Saddam Hussein last month. So, the decision on this decision is unlikely to follow any new actions.
