Iraqi leaders choose new president

BAGHDAD (AP) - A powerful Sunni Muslim tribal leader and critic of the U.S.-led occupation was named president of Iraq's incoming government June 1, after Iraqi leaders rejected the Americans' preferred candidate, Adnan Pachachi, for the post.

After the selection of Ghazi Mashal Ajil al-Yawer to the largely ceremonial position, officials announced the entire interim government due to take power June 30.

The U.S.-picked Governing Council decided to dissolve immediately to make way rather than wait until June 30. The incoming prime minister, Iyad Allawi, said his government would soon negotiate a crucial agreement on the status of U.S.-led international forces that will remain in Iraq.

As word of al-Yawer's appointment was announced, a car bomb in central Baghdad killed at least three and injured 20. Another bomb went off near a U.S. base in the northern town of Beiji, killing 11 Iraqis and injuring 22, the military said.
