WASHINGTON - A new Pentagon audit resolves a lingering Iraq-war mystery, concluding that $6.6 billion of U.S.-controlled reconstruction money was transferred to the Central Bank of Iraq, not lost or stolen.
The Coalition Provisional Authority, created by the United States to run Iraq after the invasion, controlled more than $20.7 billion during its 14-month life, including $6.6 billion held when it was dissolved on June 28, 2004.

The economic security and successful reconstruction of Iraq have been top priorities of the United States. Section 1083 of H.R. 1585 threatens those key objectives. Immediately upon enactment, section 1083 would risk the freezing of substantial Iraqi assets in the United States-including those of the Development Fund for Iraq (DFI), the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), and commercial entities in the United States in which Iraq has an interest.

Special correspondent John Zarocostas recently interviewed the governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Sinan Mohammed Rida Al- Shabibi, in Geneva about Iraq's troubled finances and the country's economic outlook. Now 64, he earned a master's degree in economics at Manchester University in England and a doctorate in economics from Bristol University there. Until 1980, he worked for Iraq's Planning Ministry, and later, for more than 20 years, with the U.N. Conference on Trade and Development.
Question: What's the situation in Iraq's efforts to obtain forgiveness of the huge foreign debt (estimated at $120 billion to $130 billion) inherited from the former government of dictator Saddam Hussein?
