BAGHDAD: Up to 1,000 British troops could be withdrawn from Iraq by Christmas, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said in Baghdad on Tuesday.
"I believe that by the end of the year the British forces which have been 5,500 can be reduced to 4,500 and by Christmas 1,000 of our troops can be brought back to the UK for other purposes," Brown said.
