Baghdad – “Italy has proved to be present, sending a large and highly qualified group to Kuwait, but also in Baghdad and Erbil, in Iraq, to train Iraqi and Kurd soldiers. The General Allen, head of the coalition, in person asked for an Italian police contingent, a global excellence, to train the local police forces. We sent some to Iraq, to understand the situation, the demands, and the type of work to be done.” The Italian Minister of Defense, Roberta Pinotti, confirmed as much in an interview with Il Messaggero.
