Iraqi Government Names Interior, Defense Ministers By VOA News 08 June 2006 Iraq's parliament has approved Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's nominees for defense and interior ministers as well as the head of national security - ending a three-week impasse over the key security posts. The prime minister Thursday, named Jawad al-Bolani, a Shi'ite Muslim, as his interior minister; Sunni Arab General Abdel Qader Jassim as the defense minister; and another Shi'ite, Sherwan al-Waili, as the new head of national security. The top security jobs were left vacant when Mr. Maliki's national unity government took office on May 20, because of disputes among his coalition partners. The posts are considered crucial for Mr. Maliki as he moves to implement a plan for Iraqi forces to take charge of the country's security to allow for the reduction and eventual withdrawal of foreign troops. Some information for this report was provided by AFP, AP and Reuters.This story originally ran at VOANews.com This story was originally posted here.
