An Iraqi Success Story

Here's some good news about Iraq. Kirkuk, the large Kurdish city in the north, is booming, and security will soon be moved totally into local hands.

Kurds living abroad have begun to return home to set up new businesses. Construction is booming. And with oil fields containing 40 percent of Iraq's reserves nearby, opportunities are plentiful.

The multiethnic city of nearly 1 million has begun to attract investment from other parts of Iraq, said Maj. Darren Blagburn, intelligence officer for the U.S. Army's 116th Regiment in Kirkuk.

"We're seeing a lot of businesses move to Kirkuk from Baghdad," he said.
