Obama declares the end of combat mission in Iraq
8:04 AM
U.S. President Barack Obama declares the end of America's combat mission in Iraq, seven years after an invasion. Today will address Americans in a nationally televised speech at 8 pm Washington D.C. time. Before that he will go to a military base in Texas to meet with just returned soldiers. The size of the U.S. force in Iraq has dropped below a symbolic quantity of 50,000 troops. Since Monday, their mission will be so-called "advise and support" the Iraqi army. Alarabiya.net.
