South Korea plans to cut troops in Iraq
South Korea plans to cut its troops in Iraq by 1,000 soldiers early next year, a senior government official said Friday.

The official said Seoul would consider a further reduction of its 3,250 troops in the second half of next year after reviewing the security situation, the Korea Times reported. The official was speaking on condition of anonymity, the newspaper said.

South Korean soldiers have been carrying out humanitarian and reconstruction activities in the northern Iraqi city of Irbil since August last year. The troops' mission expires Dec. 31 this year.
