Germany to help train Iraqi police in UAE

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Berlin, Jan 16, IRNA -- Germany, along with France and Japan, will 
help train Iraqi policemen in the United Arab Emirates, the daily 
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung quoted German government officials as 
saying on Friday. 
German Interior Minister Otto Schily is scheduled to visit the UAE
over the next days to clear the details of the Iraqi police training 
programme, according to the report. 
Meanwhile German government officials did not rule out the 
possibility of also participating in the US training programme in 
Jordan where more than 30,000 police officers will be trained in 
eight-week courses. 
Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, a strong opponent of the US war in 
Iraq, has repeatedly voiced his willingness not only to train Iraqi 
police but also fund the training programme.
