Call to withdraw from politics if Saleh's initiative not implemented
12/21/2012 5:59 PM

 BAGHDAD/ Aswat al-Iraq: Deputy Premier and a leading member in Iraqiya bloc Saleh al-Mutlaq warned today against attempts to utilize the arrest of Finance Minister's bodyguards to revive denominational projects.

He called for the professionalism of Iraqi judicial system and the inclusion of some parliamentarians and political blocs in the investigations to be made.

Mutlaq called for complete withdrawal from the Iraqi internal politics if these demands are not met.

In a press conference held here today, he added to confront all the attempts to create new crises.

Interior ministry announced today the implementation of judicial warrant to arrest 10 persons of finance minister's bodyguards, with prior knowledge of minister Rafi' al-Issawi.

Minister Issawi charged "militias" of kidnapping his bodyguards, calling Premier Nouri al-Maliki to protect them.

In a statement by the Interior Ministry, it added that only the wanted persons were arrested according to military discipline.

The arrest was made upon terrorism charges, while pro-Issawi elements called for peaceful demonstrations in Anbar province in his support.

Iraqiya bloc will hold an emergency session to discuss the current situation and its implications.

Earlier, Minister Issawi called, few months ago, Maliki to resign and the parliament should activate withdrawing confidence from Maliki's government.
