In a story Dec. 5 about a U.S.-Iraqi deal of immunity for U.S. troops, The Associated Press erroneously reported that U.S. Ambassador Stuart Jones specified that current Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi gave the assurances of immunity. He said it was the Iraqi government, and the U.S. Embassy has since clarified that the agreement was reached in June, when Nouri al-Maliki was prime minister.

AP Interview: US troops have immunity in Iraq
AP Interview: US ambassador to Iraq says incoming troops assured immunity from prosecution

BAGHDAD (AP) ? Washington has an agreement with Baghdad on privileges and immunities for the growing number of troops based in Iraq who are helping in the fight against the Islamic State group, the new U.S. ambassador said Thursday.
In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, Stuart Jones said the Iraqi government has given assurances that U.S. troops will receive immunity from prosecution. Under Iraq's former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, that issue was a major sticking point, ultimately leading to the decision to withdraw all remaining U.S. troops in late 2011.
"That was a different situation and those troops would have had a different role," Jones said.
"We have the assurances that we need from the government of Iraq on privileges and immunities," he said. "It's in the basis of our formal written communications between our governments and also based on the strategic framework agreement that is the legal basis of our partnership."
