Last US and UK troops leave Iraq as anti-IS mission ends

The final British and American troops have left Iraq, ending the coalition mission against Islamic State after more than a decade. Around 100 UK personnel departed Irbil, in the Kurdistan region, alongside US forces on Wednesday, under a deal signed two years ago. Iraq's security forces now assume full responsibility for national security.
