The US senate has given the go ahead to the appointment of Gen. David Petraeus as the head of US central command: He will be responsible for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as dealing with "situations" in Iran and Pakistan.
The 55-year-old will not leave Iraq immediately, to ensure there is sufficient time for a "proper handover" to his successor in the role of Commanding General of the Multi-National Force in the country.
