The leaders, which included Staff Maj. Gen. Baha Husayn Abd Hassan, director of police for Anbar, and Dr. Jassim al-Halbusi, chairman of the provincial council, toured Ibn Sina Primary School, one of 26 polling sites in the Hit District.

Col. Muhammad Faysal Neiris, chief of police for Hit District, and Col. Fadhil Muhammad Rakhet, commander of Provincial Security Force-5, hosted and facilitated the visit.

Ibn Sina School's faculty and children welcomed the visitors as they arrived.

The group of Iraqi Security Force leaders explained their intent to provide security for both voters and the polling site, placing special emphasis on force protection measures they will use to ensure the citizens choose the political process rather than violence to settle their differences.

Both the provincial and local Hit leadership were satisfied with the security arrangements planned for the polling sites, stating that Hit's Iraqi Security Forces are prepared for the national elections.
