1. Defeat the Terrorists and Neutralize the Insurgents
Although more time is needed for comprehensive assessments of Fardh al-Qanun, the
collective sense is that the security trends in Baghdad are better now than they were in
January or February. Coalition and Iraqi Security Forces population security efforts, including
the joint security stations and combat outposts in and around Baghdad are largely responsible
for this and are having an effect.
2. Transition Iraq to Security Self-Reliance
The Minster of Interior, Anbar provincial government representatives, and Coalition forces
celebrated the grand opening of the al-Anbar Iraqi Police Training Center June 4 in
Habbaniyah. The joint ceremony highlighted the central government joining forces with local
provincial officials to re-establish the capability to train the young men of Anbar to serve their
government and people, protect them from extremists, and enforce the rule of law.
3. Help Iraqis to Forge a National Compact for Democratic Government
Bombers destroyed the two remaining minarets of the Askariya shrine in Samarra early June
13, in a repeat of the 2006 attack that shattered its famous golden dome. Sunni extremists of
al-Qaida were quickly blamed. The attack prompted the 30-member bloc of Shiite cleric
Muqtada al-Sadr to suspend its membership in Iraq’s parliament. To ward off a surge of
violence, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki quickly imposed an indefinite curfew on vehicle traffic
and large gatherings in Baghdad.
4. Help Iraq Build Government Capacity and Provide Essential Services
The U.S.-funded construction of Nassir & Qahara water project in Kirkuk province has been
completed, providing clean potable water and improving the quality of lives of 1,500 area
residents.

5. Help Iraq Strengthen Its Economy
The Anbar Provincial Council approved the allocation of nearly all of its $107 million FY
2007 capital expenditure budget at a meeting held in Ramadi June 4. Twenty-eight
members of the Council were present to approve the documents, which allocated funds
for electrical distribution, irrigation and water purification, among other projects. The
budget was signed by Governor Ma’amun Sami Rashid. The Council set aside 10% of
the budget as a reserve, which means that the actual appropriations amounted to $96.7
million.
6. Help Iraq Strengthen the Rule of Law
The Central Criminal Court of Iraq convicted 51 individuals May 13-19 for violations of
the Iraqi Terrorist Law, Penal Code and Coalition Provisional Authority orders enforced
by the Iraqi judiciary.
7. International Support for Iraq
UN chief Ban Ki-moon is considering an expanded UN role and presence in Iraq, adding
that a clear direction from the Security Council and the government of Iraq would be
essential and better coordination with the UN’s major international partners would also
be welcomed. Ban expressed hope that the 15-member Security Council and UN
member states would continue to provide “strong political and logistical support” for the
UN presence in Iraq.
8. Strengthen Public Understanding of Coalition Efforts and Public Isolation of the
Insurgents
Britain’s next prime minister, Gordon Brown, traveled to Iraq June 11 for a fact-finding
visit, assuring Iraq’s leaders of continued British support. This visit marks the first for
Brown since being named as Tony Blair’s successor.

• In a press briefing June 6, Coalition spokesman BG Kevin Bergner said four of the five
additional “surge” brigades committed to Operation FAQ are in Iraq, and the fifth brigade is
currently arriving. All five brigades plus their enablers will be operating within their sectors in
the next few weeks. However, once they are in position, they may still require another 30 to 60
days to fully establish themselves with their Iraqi counterparts and the people in those sectors.
• Although more time is needed for comprehensive assessments of FAQ, the collective sense is
that the security trends in Baghdad are better now than they were in January or
February. Coalition and Iraqi Security Forces population security efforts, including the joint
security stations and combat outposts in and around Baghdad are largely responsible for this
and are having an effect.
• The focus of these security stations is to integrate the Iraqi army, the Iraqi police,
Coalition Forces (CF), and to do that where they have the best opportunity to improve the
population’s security. Additionally, in various areas of Iraq, highlighted by recent events
in Anbar, the Iraqi people have also begun to take a stand against al-Qaida.
VBIED Cell Member and al-Qaida Amir Killed in Operation:
• CF killed a terrorist leader and detained three other suspected terrorists June 5 during an
operation in Baghdad to disrupt a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) cell
bombing network. Muhammad Mahmud Abu Qassim Hussain al-Mashhadani, also known as
Abu Abdullah, was a known al-Qaida amir in the Hay al-Jama’a area of Baghdad and part of
the deadly VBIED cell.

12, in a repeat of the 2006 attack that shattered its famous golden dome. Sunni
extremists of al-Qaida were quickly blamed. The attack prompted the 30-member bloc of

a surge of violence, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki quickly imposed an indefinite curfew on
vehicle traffic and large gatherings in Baghdad.
Lawmakers Vote for Mashhadani’s Resignation:
• The Council of Representatives (CoR) voted June 11 in a closed session to remove
Speaker Mahmud Mashhadani after a series of scandals involving the controversial
lawmaker. In the latest scandal, he allegedly ordered his bodyguards to rough up a
Shiite minister of Parliament, the assembly’s deputy speaker said. Of the 168 Parliament
ministers who attended the session June 11, 113 voted to replace Mashhadani.
Parliament gave the National Concord Front, the main Sunni political bloc, a week to
propose a new candidate for the post of speaker, until then Deputy Speaker Khalid alAttiyah will chair the CoR.
Intersect Leaders Gather for Conference:
• Iraqi Sunni and Shiite Iraqi religious and political leaders gathered at the UN
headquarters for a two-day conference that ends to discuss ways to ease the sectarian
tensions sparking violence in Iraq.

Central Bank’s US Dollar (USD) Currency Auction:
• The following table shows volume sold of and exchange rates for USD in the Iraqi currency auction since April. Since
September, the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has slowly appreciated the dinar, as suggested by the IMF, in an effort to rein in
galloping inflation. There are early signs that this effort may have begun to bear fruit, as year-to-date inflation is 2.8%,
which projects a pace well below the IMF annual target of 30%. However, this decline in the rate of inflation may be
temporary, as the CBI has slowed its appreciation of the currency and the rate of inflation (particularly for energy prices)
typically picks up in the second half of the year.

• The following table shows the daily bond resale price and yield on Iraqi bonds issued January 20. The bonds were originally issued to
approximately two-thirds of Iraq’s commercial creditors as part of a debt exchange arrangement as per Paris Club terms. Iraq’s commercial
debt was approximately $22 billion before the debt-swap arrangement. The bonds, which are not yet rated, will mature in 2028. The bonds’
current yield of 9.6 percent remains one of the highest in the world for sovereign debt instruments.
