BAGHDAD (REUTERS) - Iraq's interior minister offered to resign on Tuesday (July 5) and said a deputy would take over his responsibilities, days after one of the worst bombings in Baghdad since the 2003 invasion.
Mohammed Ghabban made the announcement at a media conference in Baghdad, a video of which was posted on his official Facebook page.
Prime Minister Haider Al Abadi's office could not immediately be reached for comment.
