More local troops head out for Iraq

Almost 200 soldiers from the Szczecin-based Mechanized Brigade have joined the group of soldiers stationed at Camp Coyotta, about 110 kilometers from the capital of Kuwait. "All of the soldiers who will serve in Iraq have already been transported from Poland," said a spokesman for the international division under the command of Major Andrzej Wiatrowski. At present, about 1500 soldiers (the majority of those who will serve in Iraq) reside in the camp. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 7) M.M
