Last UK and US troops leave Iraq as anti-Islamic State mission ends

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around the troop withdrawal and the end of the anti-Islamic State mission, with AP and BBC each making the departure itself the lead. AP’s coverage is more scene-setting, focusing on heightened security in Baghdad and the reactions of Iran-backed groups and some concerned Iraqis, while the BBC’s extract is narrower, saying only that the withdrawal followed a deal agreed two years ago and was a key demand of the Iraqi government.
