ANBAR / IraqiNews.com: U.S. military presence in the al-Anbar, western Iraq, is gradually decreasing, said an American military source deployed in the province. “Preparations are underway to pull out 3,500 U.S. soldiers from the al-Anbar this month (July, 2010),” the source told IraqiNews.com news agency on Sunday. He said that the reduction is an evidence of the improved capabilities of Iraqi security forces. Ramadi, the capital city of the al-Anbar province, lies 110 km west of Baghdad. MH (P)/SR 2
