The U.S. military says more than 500 insurgents in central Iraq have surrendered their weapons and joined the reconciliation process since last month.

A statement Wednesday says 506 former fighters in Iraq’s Balad region signed cease-fire agreements and gave up their stock of rockets, grenade launchers, and mortar rounds. The statement says more than 100 of the surrendered fighters have also agreed to stand trial for outstanding criminal charges against them.

A U.S. commander in the region, Lieutenant Colonel Bob McCarthy, called this a key step in re-integrating the former insurgents into their communities.
