Hizbullah urges Iraqi lawmakers to reject US pact
Lebanon's Iranian-backed Hizbullah group has called on Iraqi lawmakers to reject a security pact with the US that would keep American troops in the country for another three years. Thursday's statement by the militant Shiite Muslim group says the pact infringes on Iraq's sovereignty and will cause further damage to Iraq. It says the pact, which still needs to be approved by the Iraqi parliament, would provide unwarranted legitimacy to the US occupation.
