Poland wants to leave Iraq as soon as possible

WARSAW (AFP) - Poland wants to pull out of Iraq as soon as possible, Defense Minister Jerzy Szmajdzinski said on Sunday as he arrived at a Polish military base in southern Iraq, the PAP news agency reported.

Szmajdzinski left Warsaw for Iraq overnight Saturday, on a mission to assess the political and military situation in the area under Polish command, his office said in a statement.

"We want to get out of Iraq as soon as possible, but first we have to build solid security conditions there," the minister was quoted as saying following a religious ceremony for a Polish soldier who was killed in a car bomb attack on Saturday.

Who's still there?
