Iraqi Security Act upheaval

The US-backed Iraqi parliament has set a date to vote on a security agreement that would keep US troops in Iraq through 2011.

The decision could anger many US politicians since it will be deliberated without consent from the US congress.

Al Jazeera's Owen Fay reports from Baghdad where thousands of supporters of Moqtada al-Sadr, a senior Iraqi leader opposed to US-led authorities, are also protesting the bill.
