Iraqi Prime Minister dismissed Faleh al-Fayyad as the head of the National Security Agency and national security adviser and appointed Abdul Ghani al-Asadi as head of the Iraqi National Security Agency.

Iran Press/Middle East: Lieutenant-General Abdul Ghani al-Assad was former Counter-Terrorism Services (CTS) commander of the Iraqi Army.
