NATO says weighing Iraqi request for T72 tanks
Reuters - 21 minutes ago

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - NATO is considering a request to supply
Iraq with 70 Russian-made T72 tanks, an official said on Friday,
while Iraqi state television said an offer for 120 T72 tanks was
already on the table.

A public information officer for the NATO training and equipment
mission in Iraq said no decision had yet been taken.

"That request has been sent to the (NATO member) nations.
Now we are awaiting their response. No offer has been
finalised," said Herdis Sigurgrimsdottir of the NATO mission.

State-owned Iraqiya television said that the offer was made
during a recent meeting in Rome between Iraqi Defence Minister
Abdel Qader Jassim and senior NATO officials.
