Participating militias would hand in their weapons to the Ministry of Interior and join the program as individuals

Participating militias would hand in their weapons to the Ministry of Interior and join the program as individuals, not as units or groups, coalition officials said.

All the rest, including al-Sadr’s militia, will be declared “illegal armed forces” that could be arrested when the Coalition Provisional Authority order is signed later Monday, the officials said.

Watch Abu Ghraib fill up with “illegal militias” now. The mbt sport 2is opposed to the occupation, which is most of them, will see Allawi as a tool, confirming what they probably expected anyway. Anyone taking up arms against the occupation forces will be labeled an “illegal militia member” and jailed.
