U.S. Embassy in Iraq to Be the Biggest
The next U.S. Embassy in Iraq, scheduled to open in July, will eventually become the biggest American diplomatic mission in the world, U.S. officials say. While the future U.S. diplomatic presence in Baghdad is still in the planning phases, officials here agree that an enormous American contingent--of 3,000 or more U.S. employees--will be required in Iraq long after July 1, when the United States plans to turn over sovereignty to Iraqis. ``It most likely will be the largest in the world for some time,’’ a U.S. official in Washington said Friday on condition of anonymity.
