BAGHDAD, June 25 (Xinhua) -- The Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki presented his new national reconciliation plan to the parliament on Sunday.

    "To all those who want reconstruction and reconciliation, we present the olive branch," Maliki told lawmakers in his televised speech.

    "Reconciliation and national dialogue does not mean honoring the killers and criminals," Maliki said.

    Maliki's plan also included amnesty for all Iraqis who were not involved in killing innocent Iraqis, including the Sunni Arab insurgency. But he warned that the killers would not escape justice.

    "There can be no agreement with them (killers) unless they face the justice," Maliki said.

    Maliki illustrated that the amnesty would apply on those who believe in the political process which has produced a permanent constitution and an elected government.

    However, the plan was not clear enough about on dealing with the militias of the parties, which mostly backed by Shiite and Kurdish parties in Maliki's government.

    "The government would address the problem of militias and illegal armed groups," Maliki said.

    A Sunni Arab leader, Adnan al-Dulaimi, told the lawmakers after Maliki's speech that "in the name of the Consensus Front we call on the people of Iraq to support this initiative because it will be the first step toward security and stability then start building the new Iraq."

    Dulami is the head of the umbrella Sunni Front, which includes three major Sunni political parties in the parliament.

    In their brief speeches, leaders of the Iraqi parliament's blocs have agreed on supporting Maliki's plan, but a further debate on the plan is expected to be held later, in which it is believed the plan would face strong opposition from the Shiite and Sunni hard-liners.

    Maliki's move is aiming at curbing the flaring Sunni-Arab led insurgency and help to bridge the country's deepening communal divisions. Enditem
