RTT News January 26, 2010 Germany To Send 850 Extra troops To Afghanistan: Merkel Germany is to deploy about 850 additional troops to Afghanistan to strengthen its 4,500-strong military contingent in that war-torn country, Chancellor Angela Merkel said in Berlin Tuesday. Around 500 of them are to be sent directly to join the contingent, mostly stationed in the north of the country where Germany holds the regional command of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). Merkel told journalists that the remaining 350 would be kept as a 'flexible reserve' to be used to provide extra security in events such as the coming Parliament election. Germany is sending the additional troops unable to withstand pressure from NATO allies for extra troops for the ISAF mission. .... In addition, Berlin would provide 10 million euros per year for a Taliban-reintegration program, thought to be part of a $500 million-program to be finalised at a major NATO conference to be held in Londoan on Thursday. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: rwroz...@yahoo.com or stopnato-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Daily digest option available. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: arch...@mail-archive.com EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: antinato-unsubscr...@topica.com For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
