The Pentagon plans raise U.S. troop levels in Iraq to about 135,000 as violence spikes in Baghdad persist. Current totals near 132,000 with brigades overlapping as they rotate. Officials say the spike will endure for much of the coming year, complicating hopes for rapid drawdown before the fall elections.

Shiite Leader Calls for Bigger Iraqi Security Role
Abdulh Aziz al-Hakim urged Iraqi forces to take greater security responsibility and end interference by the United States. He blamed Sunni extremists and Saddam loyalists for rising violence and noted U.S. plans to move up to 5,000 troops into Baghdad. The Najaf rally coincided with a deadly Karbala attack and the third anniversary of ayatollah Hakim’s brother’s death.
