Baghdad, Oct 5 (ANI): Iraqi leaders have said that they want U.S. military trainers to stay beyond a year-end deadline for American forces to leave, but the troops should not be granted immunity from prosecution.
The main Iraqi political leaders met at Iraqi President Jalal Talabani's house on Tuesday, and reports suggest that after the nearly two-hour meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Roz Nouri Shawes read a statement saying that they acknowledged the need for U.S. help.
But he said the blocs did not want to give troops immunity, as demanded by the US, Fox News reports.
The political coalition loyal to anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr objected to any American presence. Iraqi political leaders have been fighting for months over whether or not to ask some American forces to stay past their December 31 departure date. (ANI)
