"Iran's Ahmadinejad to be protected by Iraqis during Baghdad visit"

"Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will be under the protection of the Iraqi government during his upcoming visit to Baghdad, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said Thursday.

Denying a possible role of US troops in the visit, Zebari told the Saudi-owned al-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper the president would be hosted and protected solely by the Iraqi government."
