WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States is set to rehire thousands of members of fallen Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s Baath party and former Iraqi military to help rebuild Iraq (news - web sites), The Washington Post said citing US officials.

The move, proposed by US administrator for Iraq Paul Bremer, is aimed at enticing the Sunni minority back into politics and weaken support for the insurgency in the Sunni triangle, the officials said.


After the US-led occupation of Iraq, all Baath Party members who were teachers, doctors or in top government positions were systematically fired, sowing discontent among the Sunni.


"Iraq has a highly marginalized Sunni minority, and the more that people of standing can be taken off the pariah list, the more that community will become involved politically," a senior envoy from a coalition country told the daily.


Already the US-led coalition has brought back around six generals from Saddam's army to provide leadership to the new Iraqi army, US officials said.


They said President George W. Bush (news - web sites)'s aides hope to finish working out the reinstatement plan in detail this week.


While it remains to be decided how far up the top layers of the Baath Party to go, they said, those reinstated must have clean records to hold positions in government or the military.


The plan, which the daily said US officials refuse to call a policy reversal, will likely be launched by reinstating about 11,000 teachers and hundreds of professors who were fired when Saddam was toppled a year ago, the officials added.


"More broadly, (this strategy) is again reaching out to the Sunnis and making them feel part of the process and investing them in the process while also not alienating the rest of Iraq, particularly the Shiites and the Kurds," said a senior administration official familiar with the discussions.

P.S
