From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abid Mutlag al-Jubouri is an Iraqi politician and was a Deputy Prime Minister in the Iraqi Transitional Government. A Sunni Arab former major general in Saddam Hussain's army, he rose to prominence during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war. A military expert from a prominent Sunni tribe, Shiite politicians said al Jubouri's son was a suspected insurgent who died while trying to plant a land mine. Al Jubouri also was a division commander in Saddam's elite Republican Guards - a detail omitted from his government-issued biography. He was one of the first Sunni nominees to be approved.
