Iraqi 1st Military Parade since US Withdrawal

Troops, armored units and heavy weapons passed in front of a stand manned by Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki and senior political and military leaders, during the show held within the heavily-guarded "green zone," while all roads leading to the area were shut.

The parade included shows by cavaliers and anti-terrorists squads.

It was held near the site of the unknown martyr.

Inside, Iraqi flags of all sizes were on display throughout, as well as a large banner that read, "Side-by-side, to build and save Iraq".
