7:11Now PlayingIt's been 20 years since American and coalition forces invaded Iraq on a mission to topple Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship and find weapons of mass destruction.
Within three weeks, Saddam's regime had fallen, but no stockpiles of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons were ever found.
By the time US troops left in 2011, the insurgency that followed the invasion had claimed the lives of more than 100,000 Iraqi civilians, while US losses reached nearly 4,500.
Now a semblance of normalcy has returned, but Iraq still battles a range of challenges, from political instability to poverty and rampant corruption. Our next report takes a look at today's Iraq.
