#1 The Iraqi government has no immediate comment about the deal.

What if the government doesn't agree? Would that mean the Mahdi jihadis remain encircled, cut off from supplies with the noose continuing to tighten around their necks? Would that mean they all die instead of being allowed to keep pulling this hudna crap whenever the going gets tough? Hope so.

#2 Ah, but the hudna is only with legitimate members of young Master al-Sadr's political action group, not the gangsters and criminals who associate with Iranian provocateurs. Those still get arrested, with all that entails, I'm sure.
