Iraqi PM tells US Congress biggest threat is terror
 (KUNA) -- Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki addressed a joint meeting of Congress on Wednesday, saying that the biggest challenge Iraq faces is the threat of terror. Speaking before Senators, Representatives of the House and members of the White House Cabinet, the newly appointed prime minister vowed that terrorists who kill civilians would face the same fate as the former Al-Qaeda leader in Iraq Abu-Musab Al-Zarqawi who was killed by US fire.His address to Congress came one day after he met for the first time at the White House with US President George W. Bush, although the two leaders met last month when Bush made an unannounced visit to Iraq. Bush and Al-Maliki announced after their meeting that the number of US and Iraqi forces in Baghdad would be bolstered beyond the nearly 44,000 already there. But they stopped short of saying how many forces would be relocated from other parts of the country to Baghdad in the coming weeks. Posted by: Fred 2006-07-27 |
