Italy to keep troops in Iraq
Italy has no plans to scale down its forces in Iraq, Defence Minister Antonio Martino said Tuesday, as 11 Italian soldiers were reportedly wounded -- and some 15 Iraqis killed -- in clashes with supporters of Moqtada Sadr. "No, it's not even a possibility that we're contemplating," Martino told reporters as he arrived for a meeting of EU defence ministers.
