Some of the several hundred Turkish troops who had been stationed in a camp outside the jihadist-controlled Iraqi city of Mosul have pulled out, state media said Monday, after the deployment infuriated Baghad.

"Some of the Turkish troops stationed in Bashiqa have transited to the north as part of a new arrangement," Turkey's state-run Anatolia news agency said, without specifying if they were moving within Iraq or heading back to Turkey.
