NATO Leaders Agree to Help Train Iraq's Security Force - 2004-06-28


NATO leaders meeting in Istanbul, Turkey have agreed to help train Iraq's new security force, in response to a request from the incoming interim Iraqi government.

The announcement came on the opening day of the two-day NATO summit, but it was unclear whether the training will be conducted inside Iraq. France and Germany had expressed reservations about sending troops to the war-torn nation.

A NATO official says President Bush and other alliance leaders also agreed on a major expansion of the NATO peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan, ahead of elections planned for September.

The official said the peacekeeping force will increase from 6,500 to 10,000.
