Anbar (IraqiNews.com) A leader within Mutahidon Coalition revealed that the government paid 20.000 billion IQD for chieftains in Anbar to get their support.

He stated to IraqiNews.com “We hoped the Premier, Nouri al-Maliki, to launch an initiative to settle the crisis of Anbar but instead, he paid a number of chieftains in the province.”

“The initiative of the head of the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council, Ammar al-Hakim, over Anbar will solve the crisis in the province and the government should consider it,” he concluded.
