WASHINGTON - About six in 10 Iraqis say they approve of attacks on
U.S.-led forces, and slightly more than that want their government
to ask U.S. troops to leave within a year, according to a poll in
that country.

The Iraqis also have negative views of Osama bin Laden,
according to the early September poll of 1,150.
The poll, done for University of Maryland's Program on International
Policy Attitudes, found:
_Almost four in five Iraqis say the U.S. military force in
Iraq provokes more violence than it prevents.
_About 61 percent approved of the attacks — up from 47 percent in
January. A solid majority of Shiite and Sunni Arabs approved of the
attacks, according to the poll. The increase came mostly among
Shiite Iraqis.
