6. US plans $400m reward for allies
BBC

US President George W Bush is asking Congress for $400m (£215m) to reward a number of countries that sent troops to Afghanistan and Iraq.

A White House spokesman said the money would "assist nations which have taken political and economic risks".

The fund is part of a $80bn war funding request President Bush will send to Congress next week.

It is thought the money could prove an incentive for countries to stay in Iraq. Several nations have withdrawn.
