Germany to send elite commandos to Iraq to protect aid workers

IRNA

Berlin, Nov 1, IRNA -- Germany will send its elite anti-terror 
GSG-9 commandos to Iraq in an effort to protect German aid workers in 
Iraq following the latest series of deadly attacks against 
international relief organizations in the war-stricken country, DPA 
quoted an Interior Ministry spokeswoman as saying Saturday. 
According to the German official, "specially qualified Federal 
Border Guard officers" will be deployed in Iraq to ensure the safety 
of four German relief workers who have been in charge of restoring 
an Iraqi water purification plant since September. 
Berlin voiced "great concern" this week over the worsening 
security situation in Iraq.
