Brief: Iraq
IRAQ is demanding an explanation from US officials about a report asserting the United States spied on Iraqi officials, including prime minister Nuri al-Maliki.
A new book by US journalist Bob Woodward, presented as a critical inside look at the Bush administration's decision-making on Iraq, reported that the US spied on Maliki and other Iraqi leaders.
"If it is true, it casts a shadow on the future relations with such institutions," a spokesman said, referring to the CIA and other US agencies. White House spokeswoman Dana Perino declined to comment on the report.
