BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Formation of a new Iraqi government will start next week, the country's U.S. administrator said on Thursday, after American forces netted four more senior members of Saddam Hussein's old guard.
Speaking after talks with some of the country's prospective new leaders, retired U.S. general Jay Garner told a Baghdad news conference: "I think you'll begin to see the governmental process start next week, by the end of next week. It will have Iraqi faces on it. It will be governed by the Iraqis."
