| 2003-12-04 |
| he first group of about twenty Dutch commandos, out of a final force of seventy, has left for southern Iraq. The remaining soldiers will set off next Monday. The commandos are to search for terrorists in the region where 1,100 Dutch troops are stationed. Defence Minister Henk Kamp decided on the deployment because of the deteriorating security situation. Despite calls from the opposition, he was unwilling to wait for the lower house of parliament to debate the question next week. |
