Iraq's PM Vows Fight For Third Term -- BBC
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki says he will "never give up" on his bid for a third term in office despite foreign and domestic pressure.
He said he would remain a "soldier" in the fight against Sunni militants.
Mr Maliki's alliance of Shia parties won parliamentary elections in April.
