Al-Rubaiee, speaking at a news conference in the southern holy city of Najaf after he met with Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani, Iraq’s top Shiite cleric, said the draft of the agreement was being examined and would be proposed to the Iraqi Parliament.

 


No detailed information or articles of the proposed accord have been revealed, yet he confirmed that it genguinely regulates the extradition of prisoners between Riyadh and Baghdad.

 


Saudi Arabia holds more than 440 Iraqi prisoners and Iraq detains 160 Saudis.
Al-Rubaiee disclosed that the authorities would shut down the Ashraf camp of the Iranian opposition organization, "Mujahedee Khalq," and it set up at a location far from the Iranian borders.

 


On future status of former Baathists, he affirmed that they would not be allowed to be part of the political process, except for a number of those who had been compelled to join the defunct Baath Party.

 


Al-Rubaiee arrived in the southern holy city earlier on Saturday.
