BAGHDAD: Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi said he would present to Parliament on Thursday his new Cabinet lineup aimed at fighting corruption, in keeping with a deadline set by the legislature earlier in the week. Abadi announced more than six weeks ago that he wanted to replace current ministers with independent technocrats but has faced resistance from rivals who fear it could weaken the political patronage networks that have sustained their wealth and influence for more than a decade.
