Lawsuit Against Iraqi President
(Hawlati)
Mohammad Amin Abdullah, a resident of Sulaimaniyah,
has launched a private lawsuit against Iraqi
president Jalal Talabani dating back to the latter’s
role as head of the then rebel Patriotic Union of
Kurdistan, PUK, in the Eighties.
Abdullah is seeking 25 million Iraqi dinars in
compensation for foodstuffs that he says he supplied
to the PUK in 1983. Abdullah’s lawyer Karwan Kamal
said documents signed by the PUK existed to prove
that the goods were delivered.
No one appeared in court on Talabani’s behalf, and a
court official said that if he chose not to appear
or offer a defence, a decision would be reached in
absentia.

Rashad, Ryaz and Zab, and many weapons have been

Eleven Refugee Camps Planned
(Al-Sabah)
The ministry in charge of displaced people and
immigration is trying to establish 11 camps across
Iraq for internally displaced persons, IDPs, to
provide shelter for families forced to leave their
homes.
Ministry official Abdulrahman al-Sultan said the
camps would have electricity, water and other
services, and would distribute food and other
humanitarian aid to the IDPs.
