WASHINGTON, April 19, 2005 - Coalition forces in Iraq are welcoming

The new Australian contingent will bring the number of "Aussies" in
country up to 1,370, officials at the Australian embassy here
said.
The added military presence will provide a task group to support
the Japanese Iraq Reconstruction and Support Group. The Aussies
