Security, International
(Itar-Tass) Georgia will enlarge its participation in the coalition forces in Iraq, President Mikhail Saakashvili said at the Gori military base on Sunday. In his words, Georgia “is ready to help American and Iraqi colleagues at the critical phase of the peacekeeping operation.” Saakashvili did not say how many Georgian servicemen would be sent to Iraq, where 900 Georgians are already stationed, including two-thirds in Baghdad. Eighteen Georgian servicemen have been wounded.
