Iraq, Politics, 5/12/2004

In the context of the implications of killing one Dutch soldier in al-Samawa to the south of Iraq and the beginning of the withdrawal of Honduras forces from Iraq, the Japanese prime minister said that his country's position from the deployment of the forces in Iraq has not changed because these forces are deployed in a non- fighting area.

Units of Dominican army actually arrived back home, after their withdrawal from Iraq. The decision of the two countries came a short time after the decision taken by Spain to withdraw its forces from Iraq after the socialists won the elections.

However, southern Korea postponed dispatching additional forces to Iraq amid the escalations of opposition for the deployment of these forces, especially after the dissemination of the abuse practices by the American soldiers to Iraqi prisoners in Abu Ghrieb prison.The spokesman for the Southern Korean ministry of defense explained that the matter needs more discussions.
