Iraq's state-run industries are crumbling and as yet little has been
done to revitalise them, writes Rory McCarthy.
For 29 years Mohsin Awad has worked as a mechanic at the May 1 plant
of the State Company for Woollen Industries. It is a menial but
respectable job that pays a comfortable salary and comes with a small
house nearby at a peppercorn rent. Like the 150,000 employees of
Iraq's state-owned industries, he presumed it was a job for life.
