Iraq Interim Gov't. Names First President
Edited on Wed Jul-30-03 04:47 PM by DeathvadeR
After weeks of struggling to choose a leader, Iraq's U.S.-picked interim government named its first president Wednesday a Shiite Muslim from a party banned by Saddam Hussein. U.S. troops, meanwhile, pressed the hunt for the ousted dictator and officers said it was "just a matter of time" before he is caught.
