U.S. Raises Military Profile In Iraq

BAGHDAD [MENL] -- The U.S. military, frustrated with Iraq's failure to stop
Shi'ite attacks, plans to raise its profile in the Arab state.
Officials said the U.S. military command in Iraq has ordered troops to
expand operations to protect bases and convoys amid rising Shi'ite attacks.
They said the command also planned to relax the rules of engagement against
suspected enemy forces.
