| Description | The United Nations has extended its mandate for US-led forces in Iraq after the country's foreign minister said they were "vitally necessary" for security and regional stability.
Hoshyar Zebari called the UN security council's move "very positive for Iraq".
He said all Security Council members understood "what the Iraqi government is facing", illustrated by the bombing of Samarra's Askariya shrine on Wednesday by "terrorists ... seek to destroy the fabric of Iraqi society".
The resolution adopted by the Security Council last year, which extended the mandate of the multinational force for one year starting on December 31, authorised a review of the mandate by June 15. |
