| Description | A compromise has been reached to let Iraq's parliament vote on a resolution allowing non-US forces to remain in Iraq beyond the end of 2008, MPs say.
On Saturday, they rejected a bill which gave the 6,000 troops from the UK and other states a legal basis to stay once the UN mandate expires on 31 December.
A resolution would allow the government to sign deals with each country.
The 140,000 US troops are allowed to remain until the end of 2011 under a separate status of forces agreement. |
