Doctors want Howard in court over Iraq

June 2, 2008 - 1:39PM

Former prime minister John Howard could face the International Criminal Court for sending Australian troops to Iraq, under a plan backed by a doctor's group.

Some 550 Australian troops based in southern Iraq have formally ended their mission and begun preparations for withdrawal.

The move fulfils a Labor election promise to bring home combat troops by mid-year.

The NSW division of the Medical Association for the Prevention of War on Monday welcomed "the end of Australia's combat role in the illegal war in Iraq". snip

"As a result of the illegal war in Iraq, over 650,000 Iraqi citizens have died unnecessarily.
