Militia to surrender weapon in Iraq MIL, Oct 11, 2004. The extended period of five days for militia owing allegiance to rebel cleric Muqtada al-Sadr in Sadr City to surrender medium and heavy weapons starts Monday. Rebels will hand over thousands of weapons such as rocket-propelled grenades, machine guns and mortars at various centers under the control of police, the National Guard and City Council officials, officials in Iraq's interim government said. This gesture will allow Iraqi security forces, backed by U.S. forces, to take control of the area where attacks on U.S. and Iraqi soldiers have been going on for weeks. In return for the weapons handover, the interim government will grant reprieve for people who "have not been involved in criminality." Also, al-Sadr himself and his allies would be permitted in country's political culture.
