BUCHAREST, July 21, 2002. /From Gennadi Abalov, RIA
Novosti correspondent./ - The last 60 Romanian
servicemen set out for Afghanistan on Sunday night to
join their 345 compatriots already stationed there.
Romanian Defence Ministry informed that arms and
equipment for them were shipped to Qatar by sea and
then delivered by US aircraft to Kandahar, where
Romanian troops are deployed. 

On Sunday, the red scorpions (dubbed thus because of

Canadian mission in Afghanistan. 

After the Canadians depart, Romania will be running
the second largest task force, coming after the 3,000
