Czech Republic: Parliament Approves Anti-Chemical Deployment Both chambers of the Czech parliament yesterday approved a request from the United States to deploy anti-chemical warfare troops to Kuwait (Associated Press, Dec. 19). Including a medical troop, the deployment will total 400 troops, said Milos Titz, deputy chairman of the Chamber of Deputies defense and security committee (see GSN, Dec. 17). “[The contingent of troops] might be deployed at a U.S. base in Kuwait where it would have logistics support,” Titz said. The annual cost for the operation could total about $33 million, he said (Prague CTK, Dec. 18 in FBIS-EEU, Dec. 19).
