IRAK KONFLIKT TRUPPEN
A British army soldier passes over a bridge while on patrol in Basra, 550 kilometers (340 miles) southeast of Baghdad, Iraq, Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2007. Speaking in the House of Commons, Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair announced the first large-scale British troop withdrawal from Iraq. Blair said that Britain will withdraw around 1,600 troops from Iraq over the "coming months" and aims to cut its 7,100-strong force to below 5,000 by late summer, if local forces can secure the southern part of the country. British troops will remain in Iraq until at least 2008 and work to secure the Iran-Iraq border and maintain supply routes to U.S. and coalition troops in central Iraq. (AP Photo/Nabil al-Jurani)
