20.05 The Associated Press reports that a small group of US military personnel and several hundred contractors, who were training the Iraqi military to use drones and fighter jets, are being evacuated from an Iraqi airbase.
QuoteOfficials say three planeloads of Americans are being evacuated from a major Iraqi air base in Sunni territory north of Baghdad to escape potential threats from a fast-moving insurgency.
A current US official and a former senior Obama administration official say that means the American training mission at the air field in Balad has been grounded indefinitely.
Twelve US personnel who were stationed at Balad were the first to be evacuated. Several hundred American contractors are still waiting to leave.
They have been training Iraqi forces to use fighter jets and surveillance drones.
