'US should pay compensation to Iraq'
Mon, 24 Nov 2008
An Iraqi lawmaker says the US-Iraq security agreement should oblige Washington to pay compensation for its 2003 invasion of the country. Hussein al-Faluji, an independent Iraqi lawmaker, called on the government to include a clause in the security deal, requiring the US to pay compensation for damages it caused by the means of invasion, the Voices of Iraq news agency reported on Monday.
"The absence of a reference to the damages in the agreement is enough to reject it in its current form," he added. Under the deal, which is endorsed by the Iraqi cabinet, the US would extend its stay in the war-ravaged country by three more years. The deal has so far faced fierce opposition by many lawmakers. The Parliament is to vote on the pact on Wednesday.
