[...] In the northern city of Mosul, the governor of Nineveh province, Ghanem Basso, resigned Monday after officials with the U.S.-led occupation authority questioned him about possible corruption, a senior U.S. official said in Baghdad. "It is our understanding that the governor resigned rather than contest the charges," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. He said no charges were brought and did not provide details of the allegations.
