Poland plans to add 600 more troops in Afghanistan


WARSAW, Poland — Poland plans to send 600 more troops to Afghanistan next year, officials said Wednesday.
The new troops would serve in combat, reconnaissance missions and in training Afghan forces, said Defense Minister Bogdan Klich.
The decision, which still requires the government's and president's approval, was in response to calls for help by President Barack Obama's administration, said Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski.
