Slovakia to pull troops from Iraq - All 110 of them
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6063940.stm

Slovakia will withdraw its troops from Iraq next February, Prime Minister Robert Fico has announced.

There are about 110 Slovak troops in Iraq as part of the US-led coalition.

Mr Fico, who was elected in June, promised in his campaign that he would withdraw the contingent as soon as he reached office.

However, he has decided to commit the troops - mostly army engineers and security personnel - to a further six-month tour.
