Troops likely to be put in Afganistan's trouble spots

"Everyone realizes that this is not a simple mission and that experience of the Canadian army were not the best," said Aleksander Szczyglo, Minister of Defense. However, he admitted that the troops would be dispatched in Afghanistan by the beginning of April and the final decision on the location of bases is already made. Over half of domestic troops will be located in the most dangerous areas of the country, with the Minister stressing that Poland was one of the few countries that did not request any limitations to location and use of its troops in Afghanistan. "This is a policy without imagination," said Bronislaw Komorowski of the Civic Platform. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A7) M.M.
