were present Monday throughout
Najaf, the country’s holiest Shiite
city, with 400 police preparing to
take up positions around the
mosque. U.S. forces could not be
seen in the city proper and were
believed manning checkpoints on
roads into Najaf.
Some Iraqi police officials
leading the investigation of the
bombing have said they believe
al-Qaida linked Islamic militants
were behind the attack — not
Saddam loyalists. The FBI said it
would help investigate the bomb
ing after receiving a request from
local officials.
Also Monday, Iraq’s 25-
member Governing Council
announced a Cabinet, which
mirrored exactly the council’s
ethnic and religious breakdown
with 13 Shiites, five Sunni
Arabs, five Kurds (also
Sunnis), one ethnic Turk and
an Assyrian Christian.
The new Foreign Minister will
be Hoshyar Zebari, a spokesman
for the Kurdish Democratic Party.
The key Oil Ministry will be
headed by Ibrahim Mohammed
Bahr al-Uloum, the son of
Governing Council member
Mohammed Bahr al-Uloum. who
on Saturday suspended his mem
bership in the interim body
because of the lack of security in
the country and what he saw as
the American’s inability to pro
tect prominent figures. The elder
Bahr al-Uloum cited the Najaf
bombing.
L. Paul Bremer, the U.S. civil
ian administrator for Iraq, has
said an election for a new ewer

Iraqi police said the Nay

equivalent of 1,650 pounds
TNT. They say the 19 susp::
arrested so far may have link-
al-Qaida.
