Iraq official: US, Iraq finish draft security deal
2008-08-20
BAGHDAD (AP) - An Iraqi official says U.S. and Iraqi negotiators have finished a draft agreement that would see all American troops removed from Iraqi cities by June 30. He says the deal is awaiting final government approval.

The official says under the agreement, all U.S. troops would leave Iraqi cities by June 30 and be out of the country by the end of 2011. The final draft was finished last week but the Iraqi Cabinet has not signed off and many of its members have signaled doubts.

He says a compromise was reached on the contentious issue of immunity for American troops but did not give details.
