World Bank Gives Millions For Power Station Repairs
(Kurdistane
Nwe)
The World Bank has agreed a 40 million US dollars
loan to the Iraqi government to finance the
renovation of the Dukan and Darbandikhan power
stations in Sulaimaniyah province in Kurdistan
Region.
With the help of the World Bank, lists are currently
being drawn up detailing the repairs needed and the
equipment necessary to carry out the job, which
officials hope will reduce power outages in the
area.

Iraqi Deputies Take A Break
(Azzaman)
MPs have defended their August break, saying every
parliament in the world enjoys a summer recess.
Safiya al-Suhail, a member of Iraqi National Bloc,
believes many deputies will use the time off
productively, saying they will be meeting with
constituents.
"They have to meet people to define their problems,"
al-Suhail said.
Ordinary Iraqis aren’t convinced, however,
questioning if parliamentarians should go on holiday
at all in the midst of the current security,
economic and political crisis.

Politician Says Baathist Coup Foiled
(Asharq al-Awsat)
US forces stopped an attempted Baathist overthrow of
the government of Noori al-Maliki, according to
Mithal al-Alusi, the al-Umma party chief and
National Assembly member.
"US forces discovered the plan, informed the Iraqi
government and arrested some of those involved in
the coup attempt," he explained.
He said Baathists were behind the alleged plot.
