Iraq names defense and interior ministers

BAGHDAD, Iraq � Iraq's parliament approved new ministers of defense, interior and national security on Thursday, ending a three-week stalemate among Iraq's religious and ethnic groups over the crucial posts.

The three men were sworn in after Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki announced the death of al-Qaeda in Iraq chief Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

'Beginning of end' for al-Qaida in Iraq

Iraq's national security adviser today boasted that an intelligence haul from Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's final hideout would mark "the beginning of the end" for al-Qaida in the country.
Mouwafak al-Rubaie said documents and computer drives - including a thumb-sized device found on the terror leader's body - would give Iraqi security forces enough information to dismantle the organisation.

So by next week the war should be "won", and the troops coming home.

3. I guess this means we have a major election in a few months. Amazed

at the timing of the spin! If there's a demise of al qaida, then the war on terrorism is over, no? and we can go back to following the constitution?
