Sunni leader named Iraq president amid turmoil
Ghazi Mashal Ajil al-Yawer, a Sunni critic of the occupation, was chosen as Iraq's largely ceremonial president. The interim government, reflecting the country's diverse mosaic, will govern after sovereignty is handed to Iraq on June 30, while negotiations with the United States and coalition forces proceed. Explosions and clashes darkened Baghdad as the U.N. envoy moves to form a government and set reforms, with Iyad Allawi slated as prime minister and a 32-member cabinet to manage ministries immediately.
