Former intelligence officers put on pension
The government has decided to grant more than 6,000 Iraqis who were employed by the country’s former intelligence agencies public pension benefits.
Iraqi intelligence officers of the former regime of Saddam Hussein have been unemployed since the 2003-U.S. invasion. Even those who were temporarily employed were sacked.
The new measure is believed to grant justice to the officers who have been the hardest hit in the years since the U.S. invasion.
The disbanding of Iraqi army, police and intelligence and security organizations under Saddam Hussein by the U.S. is thought to be one of the main factors for the upsurge in violence that followed his overthrow.
