Jack Straw Says More UK Troops In Iraq A Possibility
http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,1084324,00.html
The foreign secretary, Jack Straw, has suggested that more British
troops will be sent to Iraq if they are needed to cope with the
country's deteriorating security situation.
Mr Straw, in Washington for talks on Iraq with the US secretary of
state, Colin Powell, acknowledged that yesterday's devastating suicide
bomb attack in the southern town of Nassiriya suggested a developing
degree of organisation on the part of the US-led coalition's
opponents.
Interviewed by BBC Radio 4's The World at One, Mr Straw said that the
number of British troops in Iraq has been reduced to around 10,000.
He explained: 'They are kept under close review. And I am sure - and I
know that both [the defence secretary] Geoff Hoon and the chief of the
defence staff [General Sir Michael Walker] - are constantly making
judgments about whether force numbers are adequate.
'Both of them have made clear that, if they think that these forces
need to be reinforced, then they will be. The same, I believe, is true
of the United States. What we are also doing is significantly
increasing the capacity of the Iraqi security services.'
Japan Postpones Iraq Troop Deployment

Japan has said it will postpone sending troops to join the US-led
coalition in Iraq until next year because of the worsening security
situation.
Tokyo had hoped to deploy the first troops before the end of the year,
but now says conditions are too unstable.
The move came after at least 27 people died in a suicide bomb attack
on the Italian police headquarters in the southern town of Nasiriya.
