Iraq, US in talks to set timetable for gradual phase out of US-led coalition

Iraq and the United States have held talks to set a timetable for a gradual phase out of US-led coalition forces in Iraq, the Iraqi military spokesman said on Sunday.

Talks began in January, but less than 24 hours later three US service members were killed in an attack in Jordan that the United States said was carried out by Iran-backed militant groups in Syria and Iraq.
