Warsaw (Earth Times-dpa) - Poland will send around 600 additional troops to Afghanistan, government spokesman Pavel Gras told a Polish radio station Wednesday. Gras said this was the "most likely" number, basing it figures from Defense Minister Bogdan Klich. The final decision lies with President Lech Kaczynski, who has repeatedly advocated sending additional troops.
Poland already has 2,000 soldiers stationed in Afghanistan as part of the NATO mission there. It has 200 additional reserve soldiers readily deployable from Poland within hours.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Tuesday evening said his country's participation in the Afghanistan was an "investment in Poland's security."
