"U.S. envoy reportedly seeks new Iraq PM"
By Qassim Abdul-Zahra, Associated Press Writer
BAGHDAD, Iraq --
The U.S. ambassador to Iraq has asked one of Iraq's most prominent
Shiite politicians to seek the withdrawal of Prime Minister Ibrahim
al-Jaafari's contentious nomination for a second term, two aides said
Monday.
The aides to Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim said U.S. Ambassador Zalmay
Khalilzad, had asked their boss during a meeting Saturday to
personally deliver the message to al-Jaafari.
"The U.S. ambassador's position on al-Jaafari's nomination is
negative. They want him (the prime minister) to be under their
control," al-Adeeb said.
