A report from a reputable American newspaper states that the U.S. Department of Defense has begun sending a group of exiled Iraqis to Baghdad to act as part of a temporary government led by the United States. The New York Times in its current issue states that one hundred and fifty exiled Iraqis have been selected to collaborate with retired American General Jay Garner, who is overseeing the reconstruction of Iraq after the war. The exiled Iraqis will take positions in all twenty-three ministries of Iraq and will help rebuild the infrastructure that will later be handed over to a new Iraqi government. The newspaper reports that Washington hopes the transitional government of Iraq will be in place by the end of May. The leadership of the exiled Iraqis will be under Emad Dhia, an engineer who left Iraq twenty-one years ago. He will be a senior advisor to General Garner. General Garner will hold a meeting in Baghdad on Monday, which will be attended by nearly one hundred Iraqis from all ethnicities and religious groups with the aim of shaping the transitional government. Some groups, including the prominent Shia group known as the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, have stated that they will boycott the Baghdad meeting and instead participate in a meeting of opposition members that will be held in Spain on Friday.
