Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has accepted the resignation of six ministers from his cabinet. Since late 2015, Abadi has been seeking to replace some members of his cabinet with non-partisan technocrats. As our Baghdad correspondent Altaf Ahmad reports some believe the Iraqi premier could still settle for ministers proposed by political blocs as long as they are technocrats.
