US intends to maintain military presence in postwar Iraq: paper

WASHINGTON, April 20 (Xinhua) -- The United States, planning to have a long-term military relationship with the postwar Iraq, intends to maintain its military presence in the oil-rich country, the New York Times reported Sunday.

The planned long-term military relationship with the emerging government of Iraq would grant the US access to the Iraq military bases, the paper quoted senior Bush administration officials as saying.

The US military officials mentioned four bases in Iraq that could be used by the US military forces in the future.
