Spain’s new prime minister announced Sunday his country would pull its 1,400 troops out of Iraq within the next 15 days. Jose Luis Rodriquez Zapatero had originally said he would only pull the troops out on July 1 if there was not a new UN resolution. But after the recent Iraqi uprising Zapatero said the move must take place as soon as possible. Spain’s troops are stationed now outside Najaf, the Shiite Holy City where the US has threatened to invade in order to kill cleric Muqtada Sadr. On Friday, Sadr warned that his followers would wage a general war against the US if it decided to invade Najaf.
