Iraq: government takes command of Sons of Iraq - Statesboro Herald

BAGHDAD — Iraq’s Shiite-led government took command Wednesday of thousands of U.S-backed mostly Sunni fighters who turned against al-Qaida, pledging to integrate them into public life in recognition of their help in quelling violence. About 100,000 fighters, known as Sons of Iraq or Awakening Councils, had been under U.S. military supervision and were paid by the Americans for the last two years. As of Wednesday, the fighters came under Iraqi military control.
