BAGHDAD, Nov 24 (Reuters) - Basra's airport and port will close on Friday in protest after car bombs in a Shi'ite stronghold of Baghdad killed 160 people, an official in the southern Iraqi city said.

It was not clear how long the closure would last.

Authorities imposed a curfew in Baghdad after the bombings, the largest single attack of the war, fearing sectarian reprisals.

Iraq's transport ministry is controlled by the political faction of Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, whose Baghdad stronghold was hit by the car bombs on Thursday.

Iraq depends almost entirely on its southern oil export terminals since sabotage attacks have made a northern oil pipeline unusable for most of the last three and a half years.

UNSC set to extend MNF force next week until Dec 2007

UNITED NATIONS, Nov 17 (KUNA) -- The UN Security Council is scheduled to extend the mandate of the Multinational Force (MNF) in Iraq next week until December 31st, 2007 and that in response to a request by Iraqi prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki.

According to a draft resolution circulated among council members, the council would review the MNF mandate no later than June 2007 and declare that it will terminate its mandate earlier if the government wishes to.

The council would also extend until December 2007 the arrangements to deposit the proceeds from oil and natural gas export sales into the Development Fund for Iraq and the arrangements for the monitoring of the Fund by the International Advisory and Monitoring Board (IAMB).

These two kinds of arrangements would also be reviewed, at the Iraqi government's request, no later than June 2007.

The council would also ask the US to continue to report to the council, on behalf of the MNF, on the efforts and progress of this force on a quarterly basis. (more) sj.

If this is the article you were asking about it is the MNF that is only going to be changed "NOT the IAMB".

They are only going to be putting the funds or the proceeds in the DFI and the IAMB is going to be monitoring it.
