iNEWS reverses course on Interior Ministry candidate

WHAT HAPPENED

On August 24, iNEWS (KSS — affiliated) reported from “parliamentary leaks” that Major General Mohammad al-Sultani was State of Law’s Interior Ministry candidate. Six minutes later, Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi (KSS — affiliated) carried Nouri al-Maliki’s office saying the circulated names were inaccurate and no candidate had been decided; iNEWS began carrying the same denial shortly afterward. No formal nomination appears in the supplied evidence.

    “Our correspondent: Major General Mohammad al-Sultani is the State of Law candidate for the Ministry of Interior, according to parliamentary leaks... State of Law Coalition: The names being circulated regarding replacement of the Interior Ministry candidate do not represent the real position, and no name has yet been decided to assume the ministry.”

WHY IT MATTERS

The rapid reversal distinguishes an outlet’s leaked-name report from State of Law’s stated position and leaves the Interior Ministry appointment unresolved.
