FILE - In this Thursday, June 12, 2014 file photo, an Iraqi army armored vehicle is seen burned on a street of the northern city of Mosul, Iraq. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced last month that at least 50,000 ghost soldiers had been identified in four different divisions of the military and cut from the military payroll. “We were paying salaries while we lack the money,” he said in a televised address. “We have started blowing some big fish out of the water and we’ll go after them until the end, even if it costs me my life and regardless of the campaigns I will be subjected to, because corruption is just as significant as terrorism."(AP Photo, File)
