Iraqi ministries near reopen as Garner cites progress
Retired Gen. Jay Garner said Iraqi government ministries are on the verge of reopening with international teams to assist. He indicated that officials tied to Saddam would be disqualified, though broader purges were unlikely. U.S. Marines patrol near Iran border while Iran’s influence on anti-American protests concerns officials. Four more ex-officials were detained as the coalition builds a list of those sought.
