BAGHDAD, Dec 20 (Reuters) - Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's latest cabinet list, not yet presented to parliament, has current Oil Minister Hussain al-Shahristani taking a new job as deputy prime minister for energy, senior officials said on Monday.
Current deputy oil minister Abdul Kareem Luaibi would become oil minister under Maliki's latest plan, said Ibrahim al-Jaafari, a senior Shi'ite politician and ex-prime minister.
"In the cabinet formation list that is supposed to be submitted today by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, Hussain al-Shahristani is nominated as deputy prime minister for energy and Abdul Kareem Luaibi is the oil minister," Jaafari said.
