Iraq president upbeat on security
Iraqi forces will take over the security of the entire country from US-led forces by the end of the year, President Jalal Talabani says. "Iraqi security forces will gradually take security responsibility by the end of this year for all the provinces of Iraq," he told a news conference. "We are highly optimistic that we will terminate terrorism in this year," Mr Talabani added. The pledge comes a day after dozens died in attacks across Iraq. Posted by: Steve 2006-08-02 |
