NATO Withdraws Personnel From Iraq -- WSJ

Dow Jones03-21 00:11

By Daniel Michaels

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization said Friday that it had pulled all its personnel from Iraq and moved them to Europe. The staff are focused on training security institutions in the country, which shares a land border of roughly 1,000 miles with Iran and has recently come under attack from its forces.

Iraq has had NATO troops posted there since 2004, and the deployment in recent years has been "a non-combat advisory and capability-building mission" for Iraqi security operations and forces, NATO said. Several hundred personnel were evacuated, a NATO official said. They will now work from a NATO command center in Naples, Italy, NATO said.
