Pressure mounting in Iraq for ouster of Interior chief

[ECH1969]

With violence on the rise, there were reports Sunday that several key Iraqi Parliament members are pressing to replace Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani, who is responsible for police and paramilitary commandos at the forefront of the fight against extremists in the capital.

"Some changes will take place in Cabinet during the coming days," said Hassan al-Suneid, a member of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's Dawa party. "There is talk among the Cabinet, the (Shiite) alliance and Parliament about changing the interior minister because he is unqualified."

Bassem Sharif, a lawmaker from the Shiite party Fadhila, confirmed that there were moves under way to demand changes in the Cabinet, including the Interior Ministry.

"The structure of the Interior Ministry is not right: unmarked cars, no checkpoints formed yet. . . . So far they have done nothing," Sharif said. "There are only excuses."
