Adnan al-Janabi

Adnan al-Janabi

Adnan Abd al-Munim al-Janabi ( _ar. عدنان عبد المنعم الجنابي) is an Iraqi economist and politician. Graduating in economics from London and Petroleum Technology from Loughborough University he worked in the government-controlled oil industry of Iraq in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1996 he was elected to Iraq's National Assembly.

After the overthrow of the government of Saddam Hussein, al-Janabi served as minister of state without portfolio in the Iraqi Interim Government. He was also campaign manager of the Iraqi List for the January 2005 legislative elections. He resigned in January 2005 in what he said was a protest against being handcuffed by U.S. troops at a roadblock.

He was elected to the National Assembly in the January 2005 elections and in May 2005 became a member of the committee set up by the Iraqi Transitional Government to draft a permanent constitution. He is not a member of the current Council of Representatives.

Adnan al-Janabi is the father of Salam al-Janabi, better known as Salam Pax, whose English-language weblog "Where is Raed?" became famous at the time of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
