Iraq forms first elected government amid Sunni concerns
Iraq's National Assembly approved a Shiite dominated cabinet as the first democratically elected government. Ahmad Chalabi became deputy prime minister and acting oil minister, with his nephew Ali Abdul-Amir Allawi named finance minister. The vote drew Sunni disappointment over limited portfolios and aims to draft a permanent constitution by mid August and hold elections by December if approved.
