Iraq's outgoing prime minister said Tuesday that the
United States has no alternative and must pull its troops out of the country, or else face an impending crisis, as the remains of a senior Iraqi militia commander killed in a U.S. drone strike was brought to
Iraq from
Iran for burial.
Adel Abdul-Mahdi, who resigned in November amid mass anti-government
protests, said Iraq wants a U.S. troop withdrawal to avoid further escalation as tensions soar between
American and Iran.
