http://www.ptd.net/webnews/wed/au/Qiraq-kurds-us.RnZr_DMB.html Groups of US soldiers in Iraqi Kurdistan: Kurdish military source DAHUK, Iraq, March 11 (AFP) - Three small groups of US soldiers have set up bases in Iraqi Kurdistan to prepare for the arrival of more troops ahead of an expected US invasion of Iraq, a Kurdish military source said. "There are Americans, soldiers, a group of 12 men in Dahuk, about 10 in Arbil and 10 in Sulaymaniya," a senior Kurdish officer said. He refused to specify to which units the soldiers belonged. "They are preparing for the arrival of American troops" who are to open a northern front in Iraqi Kurdistan in a war with Iraq, the officer said. The groups are positioned near three airstrips that Washington had asked the Iraqi Kurds to make ready for use by mid-February, Kurdish officials said. The airstrips are at Harir near the city of Arbil, at Bakrajo near Sulaymaniya, and at Bamarni near the Turkish border, where Turkish troops have been stationed for years to fight the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) seeking independence for southeast Anatolia. Following the Turkish parliament's decision last week to shoot down a proposal to allow US troops to pass through Turkish territory into northern Iraq, all three would become essential for a deployment of US troops and equipment in the region. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
