Pan of auditorium STORYLINE: Iraq's presidential council was sworn in Thursday and named Shiite Arab Ibrahim al-Jaafari to the country's most powerful position - interim prime minister - giving Iraq its first freely elected government in 50 years. It is the third set of interim leaders since the US-led invasion began. Al-Jaafari has two weeks to name his Cabinet, allowing the new government to begin work on its primary task: drafting a permanent constitution. If approved, the constitution will pave the way for elections for a permanent government in December. Kurdish leader Jalal Talabani was sworn in as interim President, capping a career spent opposing ousted dictator Saddam Hussein. Adel Abdul-Mahdi, a Shiite, and ceasing interim President Ghazi al-Yawer, a Sunni Arab, were elected vice presidents. After he was named to the presidency on Wednesday, Talabani immediately urged Iraqi insurgents, who are believed to be mostly Sunni Arabs, to begin talks.
