France has no plans to pull troops from Iraq — source

France has “no intention” of withdrawing its troops in Iraq, a French government source tells AFP, as tensions soar over the US killing of a top Iranian general in Baghdad.

France has contributed around 200 soldiers to the US-led coalition fighting the Islamic State insurgency group, of which 160 are tasked with training Iraqi military personnel, according to the defense ministry.
