Looks like Iraqis finaly moved on.
Like they were preparing for the US election...

It's not clear however if the 1068 arrested militant included those who surrendered in the gun-for-cash amnesty deal...

Quote from: Lieutenant-General Riyadh Jalal Tawfiq, head of the Iraqi-led offensive that began a week ago
1,068 suspects had been detained so far.
This operation will last until we finish off all the terrorist remnants and outlaws.

Quote from: Maliki
fighters who handed in their weapons within 10 days would be given an amnesty and unspecified cash rewards. His offer applies to gunmen who have not killed anyone.

Quote from: Defense Ministry spokesman Major-General Mohammed al-Askari
scores of militants had already handed over their guns.
