1. Defeat the Terrorists and Neutralize the Insurgents
According to numbers compiled by the Iraqi Interior, Defense, and Health ministries,
violence against Iraqi civilians dropped nearly 20% in April with 1,506 civilians killed,
down from 1,861 in March. The drop is largely attributable to the ongoing Operation
Fardh al-Qanun and the increased security operations aimed to reduce sectarian
violence in the capital and surrounding areas.
2. Transition Iraq to Security Self-Reliance
For the week ending April 21, the Iraqi Police Service graduated 41 police from
specialized and advanced training courses including the following: “First Line
Supervision,” “Advanced Interview and Interrogation,” and “Intelligence Analyst
Training.”
3. Help Iraqis to Forge a National Compact for Democratic Government
The largest bloc of Sunni Arabs in the Iraqi parliament threatened to withdraw its
ministers from the Shia-dominated Cabinet in frustration over the Iraqi government’s
failure to deal with Sunni concerns. President Bush called one of Iraq’s two vice
presidents, Tariq al-Hashimi, a Sunni Arab, and invited him to Washington in an attempt
to forestall the withdrawal. The bloc, known as the Iraqi Accord Front (Tawafuq) and
made up of three Sunni Arab parties, claimed in a statement that they have “lost hope in
rectifying the situation despite all of its sincere and serious efforts to do so.”
4. Help Iraq Build Government Capacity and Provide Essential Services
The U.S. Army-funded construction of the supply al-Sura water compact unit in Ramadi,
al-Anbar province has been completed, providing treated, clean, and potable water to
it’s 24,000 local residents.

5. Help Iraq Strengthen Its Economy
Speaking in Najaf, Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Council,
announced that his country has earmarked $1 billion in credits for Iraqi projects and
pledged support for Iraqi reconstruction.
6. Help Iraq Strengthen the Rule of Law
The Central Criminal Court of Iraq convicted 41 individuals April 1-14 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 Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will co-launch with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri alMaliki the International Compact with Iraq in Sharm al-Shaik, Egypt May 3. The
International Compact with Iraq is a five-year national plan that includes
benchmarks and mutual commitments from both Iraq and the international
community, all with the aim of helping Iraq on the path towards peace, sound
governance and economic reconstruction.
8. Strengthen Public Understanding of Coalition Efforts and Public Isolation of
the Insurgents
Amal Mudarris, 58, survived an assassination attempt April 29. The Baghdad radio
veteran suffered serious head injuries when she was shot several times outside her
Baghdad home the morning of April 29. Doctors said later in the day that her
condition had stabilized and she was expected to recover.

• In an operation conducted April 20, Coalition forces killed Muhammad Abdullah Abbas alIssawi, also known as Abu Abd al-Sattar and Abu Akram, an al-Qaida terrorist leader who
operated in the Karmah and Amariya areas and was the al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI) Security
Emir of the eastern Anbar province.
• Abu Abd al-Sattar had links to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and was reported to have
been in contact with him from late 2004 until Zarqawi’s death in 2006. He was also
a weapons supplier to insurgent forces and had links to the recent surge in chlorine
Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) attacks across Iraq. Additional
reports also indicate that his VBIED cell used 12- to 13-year-old children in suicide
VBIED attacks.
Iraq Civilian Deaths Down in April:
• According to numbers compiled by the Iraqi Interior, Defense, and Health ministries,
violence against Iraqi civilians dropped nearly 20% in April with 1,506 civilians killed,
down from 1,861 in March. The drop is largely attributable to the ongoing Operation
Fardh al-Qanun and the increased security operations aimed to reduce sectarian
violence in the capital and surrounding areas.
• This increased operational tempo, greater numbers of U.S. troops on the streets, and the
move from large, more secure Forward Operating Bases to smaller combat outposts and
patrol bases in Iraqi neighborhoods also contributed to April being the deadliest month in
Iraq for the U.S. military in Iraq so far in 2007, with over 100 U.S. troops killed.

Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Seeks to Work Out Differences on Oil Law:
•
Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Barham Salih said May 1 that he was confident a
draft oil law will be approved in parliament after officials from the central
government and Kurdistan meet to iron out differences.
•
Kurdish lawmakers had planned to oppose U.S.-backed legislation to regulate
Iraq’s oil industry and some Sunni legislators have also raised objections,
saying the oil law would give foreigners too great a role in the country’s oil
industry.

• The following table shows volume sold of and exchange rates for USD in the Iraqi currency auction since
April. Since September, the Central Bank 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,
with prices falling 6.8% between January and February.

• 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.

Ministry of Industry & Minerals Participation in Training and Certification for ISO 9000:
•
The Ministry of Industry & Minerals has announced that it is planning to have
important State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) certified and made compliant to ISO
9000 quality standards. The certification process would allow for contracting
opportunities in international trade where ISO 9000 is a prerequisite. This move
could also enhance the SOEs’ prospective investment potential to international
strategic partners if they become available for privatization.
•
The Ministry of Oil and Minerals manages 59 SOEs, including over 200 factories in
six industrial sectors: Petrochemicals, Cement and Construction Materials,
Engineering and Heavy Industry, Textiles, Food & Drug, and Industrial Services.
Hill Conference on FY07 Supplemental Has Concluded:

The chart shows average daily power production in megawatt hours (MWh). 120,000 MWh goal equates to 20 hours at 6000 MW average supplied load or 24
hours at 5000 MW average supply load. To date, national electricity supply for 2007is only one percent below 2006. Because demand is increasing, however,
the relative decline in national hours of power is much larger: an average of 8.9 hours for January 1-March 14, 2007, compared with an average of 10.5 hours
for the same period in 2006.
