BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A Belgian court Wednesday threw out a case against President Bush for war crimes in Iraq in a saga that had strained relations between Belgium and the United States...

Under pressure from the United States, the Belgian parliament sharply curtailed the law in July.

The ruling comes a day after another court quashed a similar lawsuit against retired General Tommy Franks, commander of the U.S. forces in their invasion of Iraq. That case held him responsible for the use of cluster bombs and the shooting at ambulances and civilians during the invasion earlier this year.
