Surprise!
BAGHDAD -- Iyad Allawi, a Shi'ite Muslim physician who tried to organize a CIA-backed coup against Saddam Hussein in 1996, has been chosen to lead the new Iraqi government when it takes power in a month, Iraqi and US officials involved in the selection process said yesterday. Allawi, who has criticized occupation authorities for disbanding the Iraqi Army and purging low-level members of Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath party, had emerged Thursday as the choice of United Nations envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, who consulted with thousands of Iraqis, a senior US official in Baghdad said. He was endorsed unanimously yesterday by the US-appointed Governing Council.
Bah! Is merely tool of CIA.
