The Shiite-legovernment of Prime.:;. is "worried that Minister Noun the Sunni tribes may be using mecha--. nisms to build their drength and power eventually to challenge this government. This is a risk for all of us, Welch said. The long-tergoal of incorporating the local fighters into the security forces is aimed at mitigating the risk of their using arms against the government and promoting their political participation, he said. ... The Iraqi government has tried to ex chide fighters who have connections to insurgents from joining the police. That wasnt good news because that cut right ' into the heart of the problem of reconciliation, Welch said.

Abu Lwat, who fought with the 1920 group, said he had grown disillusioned after seeing his community decimated.
