Iraq: Milestones Since the Ouster of Saddam Hussein

Abstract

On May 1, 2003, President George W. Bush declared an end to major combat in Iraq. Since then, hostilities and death tolls continue to rise. Tensions between the once dominant Sunni minority and Shia majority also continue to escalate. This report lists significant recent events in Iraq. Sources include, but are not limited, to White House press releases, the U.S. Department of State, U.N. Secretary-General's statements, and major news stories. For analysis and further review of the current situation, see CRS Report RL31339, Iraq: Post-Saddam Governance and Security, by Kenneth Katzman. This report will be updated regularly.
