Wolfowitz joins conservative think tank

Washington - Paul Wolfowitz, who resigned as World Bank head in an uproar over alleged favouritism, has joined the American Enterprise Institute, the conservative think tank said Monday. As a visiting scholar, he will work on entrepreneurship and development issues, Africa and public-private partnerships, the Washington-based group said. A leader of so-called neoconservatives and a driving force behind the US-led invasion of Iraq, Wolfowitz was deputy defence secretary - the number-two post at the Pentagon - during President George W Bush's first term. He became World Bank president in 2005 but was forced out in May over a promotion and pay raise he arranged for his girlfriend, an employee of the anti-poverty agency. Wolfowitz, 63, has denied wrongdoing. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
