Denmark may pull 100 soldiers out of Iraq: media

Mon May 1, 11:45 AM ET

COPENHAGEN (AFP) - Denmark may pull 100 soldiers out of Iraq -- a fifth of its total contingent -- during the second half of this year, according to a government report to be published on May 10.

"The report will be published on the 10th of May but no announcement will be made before then" as to the number of soldiers, a civil servant at the foreign affairs ministry, who did not wish to be named, told AFP on Monday.

The document is not yet finished, and must be submitted to parliament for approval, according to the state television station TV2.

"There will be two procedures in the parliament before the final vote later in May probably," AFP's foreign ministry source confirmed.
