UNITED NATIONS (AFP) — The United States and Britain offered Iraq's interim government the right to send home US-led troops under a new UN resolution they want to get approved in the coming days.
The two war allies fine-tuned several proposals in their draft to ease some concerns of fellow Security Council members, as well as Iraq, ahead of high-level talks this weekend on the June 30 transfer of power in Baghdad.
The new resolution will endorse the handover to the interim government unveiled in Baghdad on Tuesday.
In the previous version, only the next Iraqi government due to be elected by the end of January would have had the authority to ask the forces to leave.
