Spain's Zapatero orders return of troops from Iraq
New Spanish premier Zapatero fulfills his campaign pledge by ordering Defense Minister Bono to withdraw 1,300 Spanish troops from Iraq by June 30 if the United Nations does not take control. He cited polling showing 72 percent support for withdrawal and noted Washington expected no change. Reaction varied as Bush administration said it expected a coordinated, orderly pullout. Rajoy criticized the move as leaving Spain vulnerable to terrorism.
