French politician brings Paris glamour to Iraq vote
Rachida Dati, the first Muslim woman to hold a top job in the French government, brought a touch of Parisian glamour on Saturday to Iraq’s elections with a stroll along the Tigris river in Baghdad.
Dati was in the Iraqi capital in her capacity as a European MP observing the elections to help ensure the second parliamentary vote since Saddam Hussein’s ouster in 2003 is free and fair.
