Iraq Security Plan Wins U.N. Backing Amid War Council Debate
The U N Security Council approves a resolution granting Iraqis control over internal security matters and a say on sensitive U S led force operations while stopping short of a veto over major military actions. France Germany and other powers express cautious positions as Bush touts a victory and aims for elections by 2005. The measure broadens the interim government’s authority and legitimacy while maintaining the multinational force presence to aid security. Iraqi officials hail the move as a step toward ending occupation and stabilizing security ahead of the pivotal political process.
