Iraq's parliament votes to expel ALL 5,000 US troops after Qassem Soleimani killing
Iraq's parliament has voted in favour of a resolution to remove foreign troops from the country, in response to the US drone attack that killed top Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.
It came as sectarian violence broke out across the country in response to the assassination of Major-General Soleimani in a US drone strike on his convoy at Baghdad airport on Friday.
Around 5,000 US soldiers are currently stationed in Iraq, to aid the fight against ISIS.
But today, lawmakers approved a resolution asking the government to end a security agreement between Iraq and the US and expel American forces.
