Poland to withdraw troops from Iraq next year
Reuters Limited.
Poland will pull its troops out of Iraq in 2006 but it may move the deadline for withdrawal from January to mid-year, Polish Defense Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said on Friday.
Sikorski said the security situation in Iraq's south-central province overseen by Polish soldiers had improved sufficiently to hand over to Iraqi forces.
"We will certainly withdraw our troops next year," he told reporters.
Poland contributed an initial force of 2,500 to the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq and the leftist government unseated in elections in September had planned to withdraw the remaining 1,400 troops by the end of January.
Sikorski said his right-wing government would decide by mid-December whether to keep the deadline or have some 900 troops stay another six months.
