Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Kamel al-Maliki told ABC News today that he is moving to disarm militias in Iraq, and expects his forces to be ready to take over from the U.S. command in June, 2007.

"I can say that Iraqi forces will be ready, fully ready, to receive this command and to command its own forces, and I can tell you that by next June our forces will be ready," Maliki said in an interview with Charles Gibson.

Back in Baghdad, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told parliament that his country's military is not ready to assume responsibility for internal security. "There have been tangible improvements in security in the recent period in Baghdad and the provinces but it is not enough," he told fellow lawmakers, according to the Associated Press.
