Czech Response: Defense Minister Visits WMD Unit in Kuwait Czech Defense Minister Jaroslav Tvrdik visited yesterday a Czech anti-WMD unit currently stationed in Kuwait (see GSN, Jan. 29). He presented the 394-man unit with awards and praised their work for fulfilling the Czech Republic’s obligations to the international community. “I firmly believe that all of you will return alive and healthy back home,” Tvrdik said. The Czech unit is expected to be augmented March 1 with 60 Slovak troops to form a joint Czech-Slovak unit, according to the CTK news agency. The Czech military expects to keep the unit in Kuwait till at least the end of June (CTK/Ceske Noviny, Feb. 11).
