New Justice Minister as al-Shibli quits
Politics
(VOI) – Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki accepted the resignation of Justice Minister Hashim al-Shibli and assigned Minister of State for National Assembly Safa al-Din al-Safi to take over his tasks, the state-run al-Iraqiya satellite channel reported on Thursday. The minister presented his resignation last week, protesting the way the government is operating, by saying “I cannot take responsibility in this critical stage in Iraq’s history.” He is a member of the Iraqi National List, a secular parliamentary bloc with 25 seats out of the 275-member parliament, under former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi.
