| [ABNA.IR] Iraqi politicians approved a new cabinet on Monday but key security posts remained unfilled. New premier Haidar al-Abadi had been under heavy international pressure to form an inclusive government that could present a united front against the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... group ISIL. The crucial parliament session opened to chaotic scenes, with speaker Salim al-Juburi struggling to maintain order and many MPs absent. Eventually, 289 out of 328 politicians showed up and helped approve three deputy prime ministers and 21 ministers, but key posts -- including the interior and defense posts -- remain unfilled. |
