Monday, June 21, 2004. Page 2. Report: Chechen Militants Are in Iraq The Associated Press ROME -- The Italian military based in southern Iraq is looking into an intelligence report that 300 Islamic militants, possibly from Chechnya, may have arrived in the area, the army chief of staff said Sunday. The Corriere della Sera newspaper said that in recent days British intelligence reported that 300 Chechen militants who had trained in Afghanistan were heading toward Nasiriyah after having broken into smaller groups. "It's a report that everyone has had. Now we will want to verify whether this report is followed up by a real explanation on the ground," Italian army chief of staff General Giulio Fraticelli told the Italian state television network RAI in Nasiriyah. About 3,000 Italian troops are based in Nasiriyah, working on reconstruction. The report led to concern here that further attacks could be launched against Italian troops. A truck bombing in November killed 19 Italians in Nasiriyah. themoscowtimes.com

Ted, I thought the S. Koreans have not made it to Iraq yet. I must be wrong.......when did they arrive? They haven't. The conventional wisdom in Korea is that Roh's hand is being forced by Bush. Despite the anti-Americanism and the anti-Bush sentiment over there, the fact is that the vast majority of Koreans still want America to stay. Remember our plans to withdraw 1/3 of American troops from Korea? Many are very nervous about that. Guess they're finally learning about the price of ingratitude. Tenchusatsu
