BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Several insurgents groups have contacted President Jalal Talabani's office in the past few days, with some saying they are ready to lay down their arms and join the political process, the presidential security adviser said Thursday. [...]
``Many groups have called and some of them clearly expressed the readiness to join the political process,'' al-Samaraei said. This shows that ``the initiative was welcomed by Iraqis.''
In the western province of Anbar, members of some militant groups told the AP that they had been in talks with Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Chalabi for about two weeks but would not say how they were going.
On Monday, al-Samaraei told Al-Jazeera television that he received a call from a person who claimed to be a senior official of the resistance who was interested in talks. He would not elaborate.
With elections in about three weeks this is good news indeed and more proof we are winning in Iraq.
