| Iraqis to replace Japanese in southern Iraq | |
| 2006-07-13 | |
BAGHDAD - Iraqi troops plan to take over security in the southern city of Samawa following the withdrawal of Japanese troops on Thursday, a security source said on Wednesday. The Japanese troops were first deployed in February 2004. Except for sporadic protests over high rates of unemployment and lack of basic services, Samawa is a relatively secure zone undisturbed by the sectarian violence that has escalated across the rest of Iraq.
