Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- The U.S. Army recently forced south Korea to reinforce combat equipment of additional troops of south Korea to be sent to Iraq, according to south Korean KBS. When a fact-finding group of the south Korean army dispatched to Iraq informed the U. S. Army side in Iraq of the combat equipment of the additional troops of south Korea to be sent to Iraq, the latter claimed that such a level of combat equipment is not enough to cope with the resistance forces in Iraq and it is difficult to recognize the independent right to control the specified area unless combat equipment is reinforced. The U.S. Army pressed for reinforcing the combat equipment of the additional troops of south Korea with tanks, helicopters, etc.
