Members of Iraq's ruling coalition threaten to withdraw support for Abadi's reforms


    BAGHDAD (Reuters) - More than 60 members of Iraq's ruling coalition will seek to withdraw parliamentary support for Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi's reforms if he does not respond by Friday night to their demands for wider consultation, parliamentarians said.

    The members of the State of Law coalition delivered a letter to the premier on Tuesday night expressing their concerns.

    Abadi announced a reform campaign after protests erupted in August over graft and poor water and electricity services in Iraq, a major OPEC oil producer.
