BAGHDAD, Dec 20 (KUNA) -- Iraq's Interior Minister Jawad Al-Bulani has
appointed a new chief for the Babel province after the late commander
Major-General Qais al-Mamouri was assassinated with companions earlier this
month.
The Minister issued an order promoting Brigadier Fadhel Redam Kazem to the
rank of a Major-General and appointing him as a new chief for the Babel
police, Ministry Spokesman Major-General Abdul-Karim Khalaf told KUNA on
Thursday.
A roadside bomb killed al-Mamouri south of Baghdad on December 9, just
hours after US military commanders had publicly praised his efforts to secure
his region.(end)
