| 2007-09-26 |
| Spain remains committed to its U.N.-mandated role in Afghanistan and its troops will remain to help pacify and rebuild the country, Defence Minister José Antonio Alonso told parliament on Monday, a day after two Spanish soldiers were killed in an attack. Alonso reaffirmed Spanish participation in the United Nations mission in an appearance to seek parliamentary approval to send an additional 52 Spanish military personnel to train the Afghan Army. |
