Iraq PM, U.S. envoy issue rare statement

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, center, speaks to the media at a press conference Wednesday Oct. 25, 2006 in the fortified Green Zone in Baghdad, Iraq. U.S. and Iraqi forces on Wednesday raided Sadr City, the stronghold of the Shiite militia led by radical anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, but Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki disavowed the operation, saying he had not been consulted and insisting 'that it will not be repeated.' The defiant al-Maliki also slammed the top U.S. military and diplomatic representatives in Iraq for their Tuesday news conference, at which they said Iraq needed to set a timetable to curb violence ravaging the country.
