Iraqi Lawmakers Vote to Expel U.S. Troops as Iran Mourns a Slain General
BAGHDAD — Hundreds of thousands of mourners poured into the streets of Iran on Sunday to pay their respects to the slain leader of the elite Quds Force, Maj. General Qassim Suleimani, as lawmakers in the Iraqi Parliament heeded the demands of angry citizens and voted to expel United States troops from the country.

The vote by 170 lawmakers on Sunday calling on the government to oust the United States-led coalition is not final until Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi signs the draft bill. Earlier on Sunday, Mr. Mahdi indicated he would, having urged lawmakers to take action after President Trump ordered a fatal drone strike against General Suleimani in Baghdad.
