As part of the restructuring, Allawi announced creation of a
ministerial-level committee for national security including among others the ministers of defense, interior, foreign affairs, justice, and finance.

Allawi said he discussed the revamping with US Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, who is visiting Iraq this week.


Allawi also announced establishment of a Joint Operations Centre, and regional and local security offices that will coordinate Iraqi military actions with the US-led occupation.


US Army Lt Gen Thomas F Metz, commander of Multinational Corps Iraq, will retain overall control of Iraq's security, even after Iraqis regain sovereignty on 30 June.
