Iraqi Minister resigns in protest

[moobu2]

"A Minister in the interim Iraqi Government has resigned in protest at the behaviour of US forces in the capital, Baghdad.

The Minister of State, Adnan Janabi, said he had been detained for more than half an hour at a checkpoint controlling access to the so-called green zone, where many military diplomatic and government offices are located.

The Prime Minister's office confirmed that Adnan Janabi had tendered his resignation as Minister of State and gone home.

It said Prime Minister Iyad Alawi was trying to persuade Mr Janabi to return to office.

Mr Janabi's resignation is being seen largely as a protest at what he regards as the arrogant and disrespectful behaviour by the Americans in their dealings with the interim Iraqi government."
