Zitat:SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea will start to deploy 3,000 troops to Iraq's Arbil area in early August to help rebuild the northern Kurdish region, the defense ministry said on Friday.
The announcement caps months of debate in South Korea on a pledge first made to President Bush by South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun in October last year and approved by parliament in February.
