BAGHDAD -- The Sunni insurgent group al-Qaeda in Iraq has rebounded in strength in recent months and appears to be launching a concerted effort to cripple the Iraqi government as U.S. troops withdraw, Iraqi and American officials say.
A U.S. military court demoted and jailed a soldier for mistreating troops in Iraq, behavior discovered during the investigation of another soldier's suicide.
Iraq's parliament suspended efforts on Saturday to reach a deal on a law which is crucial for an election to take place in January and could affect the U.S. military' s plans for a partial withdrawal next year.
A US soldier who abused fellow troops in Iraq and then lied about it was on Saturday sentenced to six months in jail, fined almost 6,000 dollars and demoted, the American military said.
BAGHDAD, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Iraqi security forces arrested five suspected members of the al-Qaida in Iraq and the Islamic State of Iraq terrorist groups Saturday, military officials said.
BAGHDAD, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Iraq may be unable to maintain many of the electricity generating plants and other reconstruction projects built by the U.S. government, authorities say.
A leaked Government report on "lessons learnt" after the Iraq war reveals "appalling" failures that left the British Army ill-equipped for battle and the subsequent occupation, it has been reported.
As of Friday, Nov. 20, 2009, at least 4,364 members of the U.S. military had died in the Iraq war since it began in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
