NAJAF / IraqiNews.com: The Najaf Provincial Council has decided on Sunday to ban dealing with the Iraqi Transportation Minister Amir Abduljabbar and his Ministry. “The decision was made today because the minister has anti-Najaf policy,” a media source from the council told IraqiNews.com news agency. He noted that the Najaf Provincial Council will file legal petitions to evacuate every compound in Najaf occupied by a division of the Iraqi Transportation Ministry. The holy city of Najaf lies 160 km south of Baghdad. MH (P)/SR 1
