Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Chalabi has added another hat, and no small chapeau at that: He was named interim oil minister of the war-torn nation.
According to published reports, the incumbent petroleum honcho, Ibrahim Bahr al-Uloum, was given leave amid a spate of sabotage and irksome logistics problems that have all but halted crude exports.
