Poland is to withdraw all its troops from Iraq by mid-October, Polish Defense Minister Bogdan Klich said yesterday.
"At the end of June, I will hand over to the Iraqis responsibility for the whole province" of Diwaniyah, said Klich.
Poland currently has some 900 military staff in Iraq, and 20 soldiers have died since 2003 when Poland deployed around 2,600 troops to Diwaniyah to back the U.S.-led military operation in Iraq.
