Русская версияIraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki says Washington and Baghdad
have reached an agreement to withdraw foreign forces from the
war-torn country by the year 2011. The Iraqi government says
it is proposing US troops end patrols of Iraqi towns and villages
by the middle of next year and US combat troops leave Iraq by 2011.
But US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in a visit to
Baghdad last week that no final agreement had been reached.
The
Bush administration has sought to steer clear of fixed timetables
in negotiating the agreement.
