Ex-Iraqi FM to head post-war interim authority: weekly
Former Iraqi Foreign Minister Adnan Pachachi is reportedly expected to lead the new interim administration after the fall of the Saddam Hussein regime, the weekly Focus magazine said Saturday. The 80-year-old Pachachi who was foreign minister in the government deposed by Saddam Hussein's Baath Party in a 1968 coup, was quoted as saying that Iraqi opposition had asked him to form a provisional authority called 'The Council of Sovereignty'. "I was authorized to duly convene this council which will represent Iraq in the interim phase," Pachachi added. The council will be composed of three Shiites, one Sunni, a Kurd and Pachachi himself. Sounds ever so multicultural... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-04-05 |
