WARSAW, Nov. 10, SPA -- Poland will deploy some 1,200 troops in Afghanistan by February and will allow them to operate in the volatile southern provinces where allied troops are battling Taliban insurgents, AP quoted Defense Minister Radek Sikorski as saying Friday. The troops will be based mainly in eastern Afghanistan, but could be used anywhere in the country to help allied forces, Sikorski said.«They will have their area of responsibility and their area of operations, but if there is an operational need to reinforce our allies, including our British allies, (we) have told our soldiers they have no political restrictions on where they move,» he said.«In Afghanistan as NATO we'd have enough troops if they could be used according to military logic rather than according to political constraints.»--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/402020
