| Peace Accord Signed in Eastern Baghdad |
| 2006-12-14 |
FORWARD OPERATING BASE LOYALTY, Iraq – In an historic meeting in the Tuwaitha Village area of eastern Baghdad, members of the Jisr Diyala Nahia (council), Iraqi security force officials, and local Shia and Sunni leaders reached an initial agreement to work to end the sectarian violence in their neighborhoods.  The meeting, first discussed after a recent spike in sectarian violence in the area, is a starting point for a future peace accord for the entire region. The summit ended with the Shia and Sunni sheiks shaking hands with one another, planning another meeting to sign a formal peace agreement at a later date. |

| #4 Yeah, we'll sign the peace agreement after the hudna. Still, it'd be nice if this sort of thing would actually slow down the killing; down to the level of, say - Chicago, 1929 - St. Valentine's Day, to be exact. |
