A picture shows the new US embassy complex, still under construction, in the heavily fortified Green Zone, on the west bank of the Tigris River in Baghdad, 11 October 2007. Shoddy construction work, safety lapses, kickbacks, internal disputes and ballooning costs -- the new US embassy complex in Baghdad is mired in a deluge of problems, with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on the frontline of fire from lawmakers. Three months after the State Department confidently told Congress that the world's biggest US embassy would be completed on schedule in September 2007, officials are now saying that it would be delayed indefinitely, with one report saying by more than a year. A multitude of questions have been raised over the safety of the complex, budgeted originally at about 600 million dollars. AFP PHOTO/STR (Photo credit should read STR/AFP via Getty Images)
