(Al-Bayyna)
Lawmaker Sheikh Jalal al-Sageer has revealed a
conspiracy led by former members of the dissolved
government, insurgents, Saddam Hussein's henchmen,
and secular Shias to overthrow the Ibrahim al-Ja'afari
government. He added that the current government has
a budget deficiency because the former ministers
spent the budget illegally, which drained the
2004-2005 budget. He also expressed astonishment at
the insistence of Kurds to apply Article 58 rather
than Article 71, which gives the provinces full
authority to rebuild their cities and provide their
people the best services.
