| | Iraqi Interim Government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Iraqi Interim Government was created by the United States and its coalition allies as a caretaker government to govern Iraq until the Iraqi Transitional Government was installed following the Iraqi National Assembly election conducted on January 30th, 2005. | | | It was recognized by the U.S., the United Nations, the Arab League and several other countries as being the sovereign government of Iraq (see Iraqi sovereignty for more information). | | | In early July, Allawi issued an unprecedented statement claiming that the Iraqi interim government had provided intelligence for the U.S. air strikers with 500 and 1000 pound (220 and 450 kg) bombs on Fallujah in July. |

| | Prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Zarqawi had settled in Kurdish northern Iraq (an area not controlled by Saddam Hussein's government) where he joined, and may have led, the terrorist organization Ansar al-Islam, which was an enemy of the Ba'athist government. | | | Their view was that Iraq had violated the terms of the cease-fire by breaching two key conditions and thus made the invasion of Iraq a legal continuation of the earlier war. | | | The invasion was swift, with the collapse of the Iraq government and the military of Iraq in about three weeks. |

| | Last week, American pressure dissuaded the Governing Council from issuing a formal rejection of the Turkish troops; on Monday, though, its foreign minister, Hoshyar Zebari, said at a summit of Islamic countries in Malaysia that the council was opposed to the presence of forces from any of Iraq's neighbouring countries. | | | However, the chances of bringing in reinforcements from other countries worsened further on Monday, when Iraq's Governing Council--an interim group appointed by America to run some of Iraq's affairs until a new government is elected--reaffirmed its opposition to admitting troops from Turkey. | | | But many Iraqis are appalled at the idea: for centuries, Iraq was part of the Turkish-run Ottoman empire and the idea of being reoccupied, even temporarily, by the former colonial ruler has not gone down well. |
