A report by the special inspector-general for Iraqi reconstruction says it has also found indications of fraud. When the US-led Coalition Provisional Authority took over the running of Iraq, it also assumed financial responsibility for reconstruction of the country. The reconstruction was to be paid for by money from oil sales and the assets seized from the former government of Saddam Hussein. The special inspector-general has concluded that more than $US7 million ($8.95 million) is unaccounted for, and that payments worth $US89 million do not have the proper paperwork.

It is known that Sabawi was arrested while attempting to enter Iraq from Syria using a forged document. He occupied a number of positions during the Saddam regime, including the directorship of anti-spying while his brother worked as director of intelligence. He headed the intelligence department towards the latter part of the 1980s and during Kuwait's invasion. He headed the general security department in mid-90s. Al-Nahda said Sabawi confessed to poisoning former foreign minister Shathel Taqa in 1974, as well as former foreign ministers Abdlekareem Al-Shaykhali, Nasser Al-Hani and Murtadha Al-Hadeethi during the 1970s. The paper said, Sabawi told the committee that, with the help of others, he killed 150 persons in the intelligence prison in Koradat-Maryam area in one day, during the interrogations following the failed coup attempt in 1979.

• June 3, 2004: The FBI is investigating who in the U.S. government leaked information to former Iraqi exile Ahmad Chalabi that made its way into the hands of the Iranian government, potentially damaging American efforts to monitor Tehran ’s activities, government officials said Wednesday. CBS News initially reported Tuesday that Chalabi had told an Iranian intelligence official that the United States had cracked its codes, allowing U.S. agents to read Iran ’s secret communications. Revealing such information would expose one of the United States ’ most important sources of information about Iran . Following the broadcast report, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post followed with similar stories, all quoting anonymous U.S. intelligence officials. American officials quoted in the news reports said Chalabi told the Baghdad chief of the Iranian spy service that the United States was reading its communications and that the Iranian spy described the conversation in a message to Tehran, which was intercepted by U.S. intelligence.

Around a third of the old notes have been destroyed already, and the U.S. authorities in Iraq estimate it will take about two months to incinerate the remaining 6,000 tons. The Central Bank of Iraq said it had intervened on Thursday to counter the dinar’s swift rise, buying dollars at 1,350 dinars each after the currency hit 1,100 on Wednesday -- from 1,500 last week and a low of 2,200 last year.
• Jan.6, 2004: The Bush administration has decided to let the Kurdish region in north Iraq remain semi-autonomous despite warnings from Iraq 's neighbors not to divide the country into ethnic states.
• Jan.5, 2004: The Iraqi minister of finance, Kamel al-Keilani, announced that the Iraqi ministry of finance reached an agreement with Lebanon and Jordan to restore back frozen assets worth one billion dollars, noting that there are negotiations with Syria to this effect.

• Jan. 4, 2004: In preparation for ending its occupation of Iraq , the United States is making plans to create the largest U.S. diplomatic mission in the world in Baghdad , complete with a staff of over 3,000 personnel, according to U.S. officials. The transition will mark the hand-over of responsibility for dealing with Iraq from the Pentagon to the State Department, which will then help oversee the two definitive steps in creating Iraq 's first freely elected democratic government. The U.S. Embassy in Egypt has a larger presence, more than 7,000 personnel. But they include many non-diplomats from other U.S. agencies, including, for example, two members of the Library of Congress who collect foreign books. The Baghdad embassy will have the largest diplomatic staff anywhere in the world, the State Department said.
• Jan.4, 2004: The last vestige of Saddam's Hussein rule is vanishing as Iraqi dinars bearing the picture of the toppled Iraqi dictator run out of circulation. "We have exchanged 90 percent of the old dinars. The new dinar has gained credibility as a store of value and is helping strengthen the exchange rate," chief central bank economist Mudhir Kasim said. The Central Bank implemented a US plan in October to destroy the old dinar and circulate new ones printed in Britain with more denominations than the 250-dinar note, which dominated the market, and older currency used in Iraqi Kurdistan and known as the Swiss dinar. Instead of Saddam, the new dinars display symbols of Iraq 's Arab civilisation, such as the 11th century physicist Ibn Al Haytham, who studied the refraction of light. Most shops and professionals in Baghdad have stopped taking the old Saddam dinar, and currency dealers are charging extra to accept it. It will cease to be legal tender as of January 15.

U.S. officials say they still have no information about who was responsible for the attack, and the investigation is ongoing. Eyewitnesses said three or four vehicles ambushed the Japanese diplomats with automatic rifles Saturday near the northern Iraqi city of Tikrit -- the hometown of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein -- as they were traveling to a reconstruction conference.
