WASHINGTON - Senior Iraqi politicians, with possible tacit backing from US Vice President Richard Cheney, are planning to ask soon for a no-confidence parliamentary vote against Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki as a step toward bringing him down, CBS News reported Saturday.

The report said the no-confidence vote will be requested on July 15 by the largest block of Sunni politicians, who are part of a broad political alliance called the Iraq Project.

The group wants a new government run by ministers who are appointed for their expertise, not their party loyalty, the television network said.

The Iraq Project is known to the highest levels of the US government. Its plan, CBS News said, was discussed in detail during Vice President Cheney’s most recent visit to Baghdad, when he met with the Iraqi Vice President Tariq Al Hashimi.
