BAGHDAD: Iraq's dominant Shiite leaders appeared divided on Monday over Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's much-touted national reconciliation plan that aims to curb violence by offering amnesty to rebels. Abdel Aziz al-Hakim, the powerful head of parliament's largest bloc, told AFP he favoured extending an amnesty to insurgents who may have killed US troops, an idea strongly opposed by Maliki."Yes they should be covered regardless of their religious or ethnic affiliations," Hakim said when asked if he would support extending the reconciliation and amnesty plan to those who may have attacked or killed US-led troops. Hakim's comments came a day after the Iraqi government issued a new list of 41 "most wanted" terrorists including exiled members of the family of ousted dictator Saddam Hussein. His position contradicts the stance of Maliki, who said on Wednesday there would be no amnesty for those who killed US troops, foreigners and journalists.
