Spain to withdraw troops from Afghanistan
2004-10-11
Spain will pull its 500 troops out of Afghanistan after the Afghan elections, Defense Minister Jose Bono told local media on Monday. Bono said that only a Spanish medical group would stay there to carry out humanitarian tasks. Asked whether NATO should keep its troops in Afghanistan after the country's elections on Oct. 9, the minister said Spain opposed extending the deployment in order to show respect for Afghanistan's sovereignty. Spain has been insisting that all foreign troops should be drawn from Afghanistan after the Afghan elections. In April, Spain withdrew 1,300 troops from Iraq on the orders of newly-elected Prime Minister Jose Rodriguez Zapatero.
