A group of New Iraqi Army (NIA) recruits stand in formation during training in the Kurkesh Military Training Base, some 80 km northwest of Baghdad, August 7, 2003. US troops began recruiting Iraqis to form a new Iraqi army earlier in July. US civilian administrator Paul Bremer said in June the decision to dissolve the army had caused Iraqis 'considerable pain' and was under review. [Reuters]
