On Tuesday, Iraqi government and central bank officials were quoted as saying that the country was sending a delegation to Washington to ask for exemptions in applying the sanctions. "The government plans to ask Washington for a waiver. It's going to happen soon," Reuters quoted one unnamed central bank official as saying. Iraq was hit by protests this summer, spurred by anger over inadequate public services. Officials fear shortages of key items could spark fresh unrest if Baghdad complies with the US sanctions. They said they were asking each ministry to draw up a list of imports that are essential to Iraq's economy and demand from US authorities to exempt them from sanctions.
