Spokesperson Says 'Islamic Resistance of Iraq' Won't Follow Any Timetable for Handing Over Weapons

A spokesperson for a group calling itself 'Islamic Resistance of Iraq' said the group does not consider itself bound by any timetable or agreement set by state or political bodies and that the group's weapons will remain in their custody. The remarks appear in at least two internal reports that were published, and both reports focus on the group's refusal to accept a timeline or to hand over arms.
