Last UK and US troops leave Iraq as mission ends
Original: Last UK and US troops leave Iraq as anti-Islamic State mission ends
The final British and American troops have left Iraq, marking the end of the anti-Islamic State mission there. The withdrawal closes a military chapter that began in 2014 with the coalition formed to defeat the jihadist group, and comes as Iraq moves toward a different security relationship with Western partners.
Why now: The withdrawal of the last coalition forces marks a symbolic end to a long-running Western military presence in Iraq.
