6月11日，驻伊美军在最新一轮与武装分子的残酷较量中，在伊拉克西部剿灭了40名武装分子，而武装分子也在巴格达及附近地区发动一连串血腥袭击，造成19人死亡，24人受伤。但6月12日，伊拉克政府表示一些反美武装分子有意提出“和解”，希望与那些承诺不使用武力的组织进行沟通。外电报道如下：The Iraqi government said on Sunday that some rebels had approached it looking for peace terms and repeated its willingness to negotiate with groups which renounced¹ violence and which had not killed Iraqis.

Government spokesman Laith Kubba, speaking at a regular news conference, gave no details of who had made contact.

While many nationalist guerrillas concentrate their attacks on U.S. occupying forces, high-profile groups like Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's al Qaeda in Iraq would appear to be excluded from any dealings with the government because they have mounted bloody² assaults on Iraqi civilians³ and security forces.

Renounce表示“（正式宣布）放弃，否认，断绝关系”，例如：He renounced his claim to the property.（他放弃了财产所有权。）He renounced his religion and became a Muslim.（他宣布背弃原来的宗教而成了穆斯林教徒。）
