Provisional Afghan Cabinet

A provisional list of the 30-member interim Afghan administration approved by four Afghan delegations meeting near Bonn, Germany.

The posts are followed by the names and, when known, their ethnicity and delegation affiliation.

Although faction leaders signed an accord on Afghanistan's political future, wrangling over who will fill the slots was continuing Wednesday, and last-minute changes were still being made.

The four delegations in Bonn represented the northern alliance, the Rome group of exiles loyal to former King Mohammad Zaher Shah, and two smaller exile groups based in Cyprus and Peshawar, Pakistan.
