BRUSSELS, Belgium -- Russia warned the West on Monday against supporting Georgia's leadership, suggesting that the United States carried weapons as well as aid to the ex-Soviet republic and calling for an arms embargo.

American forces on Monday handed over security responsibility to the Iraqis in a province that the U.S. military once feared was lost, a sign of the stunning reversal of fortunes since local Sunnis turned against "al-Qaida in Iraq."

The 25,000 American troops remaining in Anbar province will focus on training Iraq's military and police forces.
