UN chief 'seeks Iraqi handover' (of sovereignty)
Advertisements [?]
The United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan is set to call for a swift handover of sovereignty to the Iraqi people, the BBC has learned.

The recommendations are contained in a report due to be presented to the UN Security Council next week, a copy of which has been obtained by the BBC.

The report says there is a pressing need for the Iraqi people to be given a clear and specific sequence of events leading to the end of the military occupation.

Top Pentagon advisers have warned that time is running out for the United States to establish law and order in Iraq, where another US soldier was killed by a bomb on Friday.
