Provincial Council Bans New Fallujah Awakening Council’s Offices
Falluja, Dec 12-The Falluja provincial council on Wednesday banned the opening of new offices of the Anbar awakening council to limit armaments in the city, an official source from the provincial council said.
“The council decided this morning to ban opening new office of the awakening council in the city of Falluja in an attempt to put limits on armament and to restrict it only to police and army forces,” the source told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI) under condition of anonymity.
“The decision was sent to all police stations and tribes in the city of Falluja,” the source also said.
“The decision was signed by most of the provincial council’s members,” he noted.
The Anbar awakening council fighters, formed by Sheikh Abdul Sattar Abu Resha last year, were financed by U.S. forces and the Iraqi government to help security forces in its battle against al-Qaeda in Iraq armed group.
Falluja, Anbar province, is 45 km west of Baghdad, while Ramadi, the capital city of Anbar, is located 110 km west of the Iraqi capital.
