BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The Iraqi Governing Council was dissolved Tuesday after the appointment of an interim government that will take over at the end of June, a member of the outgoing body said.
"The Governing Council dissolved itself today. It no longer exists," Mahmoud Othman, who has been appointed a minister of state in the new line-up, told Reuters.

Prime Minister-designate Iyad Allawi announced a government line-up Tuesday that included many new faces and few former council members.
