Thailand says it will withdraw its medical and engineering troops from Iraq if they are attacked.Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is facing growing public demands to withdraw the troops sent last year to do humanitarian work in the southern city of Kerbala.
Honduras has become the latest country to pullout of Iraq following Spain's announcement its troops will start returning home within weeks.
The Thai senate has begun debate on a resolution calling for the troops to come home.
