No immunity granted to US forces: Iraq
2014-06-25
[Iran Press TV] Baghdad has not agreed to grant immunity from local prosecution to US forces that are being deployed to Iraq, which is fighting against Takfiri militants, reports say.

According to Iraqi local media reports, a government source on Tuesday rejected the claims after reports from the Pentagon said Iraq had assured Washington that US forces would not be subject to possible prosecution in Iraqi courts.

The source, whose name was not mentioned in the reports, said that granting immunity to US forces is a "baseless" claim made by "some media outlets."
In that case they should be home tomorrow.

#3  No immunity. Let the Iraqis defend themselves then.

#2  IIRC, the US made a point of saying they had immunity. Was it really necessary to stick a thumb in Iraq's eye? What did they think Iraq would say?

Amateurs.
