Iraq oil minister returns to job after price protest
2006-01-10
Unlike your average protest in Gaza, here there was a) no deaths b) no gun sex and c) no car swarm.
BAGHDAD - Iraqi Oil Minister Ibrahim Bahr Al Ulum who last month said he was resigning his job in protest at fuel price hikes has returned to his post, the government said on Monday. “Bahr Al Ulum has resumed his activities as oil minister after taking back his resignation at the request of the Prime Minister (Ibrahim Jaafari), members of the cabinet and certain religious leaders,” said a statement.

Upon returning to his post, Ulum chaired a meeting of oil ministry officials to look at the distribution of oil products, it added.
