Iraqi Prime Minister-designate Ibrahim al-Jafaari has announced he has formed a cabinet, more than 12 weeks after the country held parliamentary elections. After nearly three months of protracted political haggling, the vote took place on Wednesday, a senior member of the ruling alliance said. Aljazeera said quoting al-Jafari that a list containing the names of those who will assume ministerial portfolios, has been submitted to the presidential council. The announcement came shortly after armed men shot and killed a member of Iraq's parliament outside her home in eastern Baghdad. Iraqi police identified the victim as Lamia Abid Khadawi, a member of caretaker Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's political party. Khadawi is thought to be the first person in the 275-member National Assembly to be killed.Officials said late on Tuesday that al-Jafari had presented his government line-up to President Jalal Talabani. But he did not make the names public because of last-minute disagreements over some appointments, al-Maliki said. PM-designate al-Jafari makes the announcement in Baghdad "There are still problems in deciding who will hold the oil and interior ministries," he said on Tuesday. There was no immediate word on whether all differences had been resolved. Possible make-up Iraqi media sources said the United Iraqi Alliance (UIA) would get 17 cabinet posts. The Kurds would get nine portfolios, including the Foreign Ministry, while Sunni Arabs would get seven portfolios, including the Defence Ministry. The Christian and Turkmen minorities were expected to get one ministry each. Iraqi media sources said that Sadun al-Dulaymi, a Sunni, would be named defence minister.
