There is no point that prevents the Americans from performing military operations in Sadr City ... The US forces are and will continue bombing ... the places that are launching mortar rounds or rockets at their bases and/or the Green Zone.
Today, people are very happy and very optimistic ... Last night for the first time in more than 40 days we were able to sleep without being woken up by explosions or gunfire.
The agreement represents the government's vision to end armed displays and purge al-Sadr City from roadside bombs and mines and impose the law in the city
Iraqi security forces are the only force to achieve this, and the government has the right to raid and search any place suspected of possessing heavy or medium weapons ... The government is also committed to chase all wanted people under the supervision of the prime minister.
A 10-point agreement has been reached between members from the United Iraqi Alliance and Sadrist movement in Baghdad and we are informed that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is committed to it
the agreement stipulates that the Mahdi Army will stop fighting in Sadr City and will stop displaying arms in public. In return, the government will stop random raids against al-Sadr followers and open all closed roads that lead to Sadr City.
This document does not call for disbanding al-Mahdi Army or laying down their arms
