Politics
(Al Sabaah) - Adviser to Prime Minister al-Maliki, Mariem Raees, said the cause of al-Maliki's delay in declaring a cabinet reshuffle was because parliament blocs have suggested inefficient candidates. Raess stressed that the security ministries have been excluded from the reshuffle due to the Baghdad security plan.
Meanwhile, the Patriotic Union Kurdistan (PUK) issued a statement that a delegation of the Islamic Fadhila Party have expressed their support to execute article 140 of the Iraqi constitution to hand Kirkuk over to Kurdistan.
