Rice says Iraq coalition remains intact

BERLIN (Reuters) - The U.S.-led coalition of international forces in Iraq is still intact after Britain announced plans to reduce its troop levels, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Wednesday.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair said earlier on Wednesday that hundreds of British troops would be withdrawn from Iraq in coming months, just as thousands of additional U.S. soldiers are arriving to try to restore order in Baghdad.
