El Salvador To Send
Peacekeepers To Lebanon
El Salvador is expected
to send 52 soldiers to
join the UN peacekeeping
mission in Lebanon, the
country's Defense
Ministry announced
Friday.
According to news
reaching here from San
Salvador, the capital of
El Salvador, the
military contingent will
first travel to Spain on
Monday to receive
one-month training.
The soldiers will join
the UN peacekeeping
troops in Lebanon, the
ministry said, adding
that the training will
help them "achieve the
given mission."
El Salvador's parliament
adopted a resolution
Thursday night, giving
green light to the
peacekeeping mission in
Lebanon.
The opposition parties
also supported the
resolution, although
they opposed sending
troops to Iraq because
they considered it an
illegal war.
