"BAGHDAD — Party leaders in the Iraqi parliament said today that they were setting up a committee to examine the continuing U.S. military presence in Iraq with an eye toward possibly restricting American activities, as the backlash continued over a U.S. raid Sunday in which the Iraqi government said 13 civilians were killed.

Before the end of the year, the United Nations is expected to take up its annual review of a Security Council resolution that authorizes the U.S. military presence in Iraq...

The committee, to be made up of representatives from various political parties, is to meet Oct. 31 and make recommendations on any limitations Iraq should seek in the U.N. resolution."
