Ghani Sworn in as Afghan President; Cabinet Includes Ex-Warlord 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
Afghanistan has sworn in Ashraf Ghani as its new president. A former
World Bank official, Ghani was declared the winner after a lengthy
dispute with opponent Abdullah Abdullah. Ghani's first vice president is
Abdul Rashid Dostum, an Uzbek warlord whom Ghani himself once described
as a "known killer."
