Department of Subtle Hints. This from Agence France Press:
Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi on Tuesday gave the party of disgraced Pentagon favourite Ahmed Chalabi 24 hours to leave its Baghdad headquarters, the interior ministry said.
Ministry spokesman Sabah Khadim insisted that eviction orders would follow against other parties which he said had seized state property after the fall of Saddam Hussein`s regime in April last year, but acknowledged that this was the first. . .
An official from Chalabi`s Iraqi National Congress party charged that the order was part of a continuing conspiracy against the group, after its leader was charged with banknote forgery late last week.
For the moment, Allawi´s Americans appear to be winning.
