Afghan President postpones unveiling of cabinet

The Afghan President Hamid Karzai has postponed the unveiling of his long-awaited cabinet. Mr Karzai was sworn in as the President for a new term in office three weeks ago. His spokesman Siamak Herawai said Karzai intended to introduce a number of his new cabinet members to parliament on Tuesday, but a spokesman for the Parliament said the move has been delayed until Saturday. The parliament had been appraised about the delay on Monday. The delay comes after some MPs opposed presentation of the cabinet in groups, preferring the entire line-up to be finalised first. <br/>
