Iraq?s council appoints ministers, new oil chief
Iraq?s US-backed Governing Council named 25 ministers yesterday, appointing little-known returned exile, Ibrahim Bahr al-Uloum as Oil Minister.
The Council said in a statement Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) official Hoshyar Zebari had been appointed Foreign Minister, former exile Nouri Badran interior minister and Kamel al-Keylani Finance Minister. The officials will run the day-to-day work of the ministries, but there will be no prime minister. Overall authority in the country remains in the hands of US governor Paul Bremer until an elected government is installed.
The Council named a woman, Nisreen Brawi, as Minister for Public Works. It also created a ministry for human rights to be led by Abdul Basit Turki. No ministers have been appointed for defence or information. The ministers would be sworn in after tomorrow?s funeral of Shi?ite leader Ayatollah al-Hakim.
