September 18, 2006 -- The Iraqi army today assumed operational control of security operations in the central province of Salah Al-Din from the U.S.-led coalition.
It is the second province to be placed under direct Iraqi control since September 7, when coalition forces handed over command of Iraq's armed forces to the government.
