The new Polish government has said it is to withdraw all of its 900 troops from Iraq next year. It is one of the first announcements made by the ruling liberal party which was voted to power last month and sworn in yesterday. Poland deployed a total of 2,600 soldiers to Iraq following the US-led invasion in 2003. That number was reduced to 1,500 in 2005, then to 900 a year later.
