Iraq's parliament sacks finance minister over corruption allegations - state TV
BAGHDAD, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Iraq's parliament voted on Wednesday to dismiss Finance Minister Hoshiyar Zebari, state TV and parliament sources said, a move that risks further destabilizing the major OPEC producer's fragile finances.
Parliament voted by majority to dismiss Zebari after questioning him last month on charges of corruption and mismanagement, which he denies. (Reporting by Saif Hameed; Editing by Andrew Heavens)
