MOSUL, IRAQ (September 22, 2005) – As part of the ongoing Operation Restoring Rights citizens of Tal Afar received further aid from the Iraqi government with the arrival of more essential food items there Sep. 21.
Over 250,000 pounds of food was delivered to Tal Afar by Iraqi workers as the second instillation of over $10 million of immediate reconstruction projects and aid to begin the rebuilding process there.
An essential part of the rebuilding process in Tal Afar is the continued strengthening of security forces there, and recently over 300 Sunni Muslims have signed up to become Iraqi Police in the town.
The Iraqi Government will continue to provide aid for the town in the process of rebuilding with more supplies and food expected to arrive in Tal Afar soon.
