BAGHDAD

Iraqi parliament on Sunday decided to expel the U.S. troops from the country.

In an extraordinary session, the parliament unanimously decided to send the U.S. and foreign troops out of the country.

In a statement, the parliament said the implementation of the decision is within the government’s obligation.

The move came after Qasem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards’ elite Quds force, was killed in a U.S. drone airstrike in Iraq on Friday.
