BUDAPEST, Jul 23, 2008 (Xinhua via COMTEX News Network) -- All Hungarian
parliamentary parties have expressed support for Hungary's continued involvement
in Afghanistan's reconstruction following the recent deaths of two Hungarian
soldiers in the war-torn country, Hungarian Defense Minister Imre Szekere
said here on Wednesday.
Hungarian Parliament's Defense Committee discussed the Defense Ministry's
report on two Hungarian soldiers' deaths in Afghanistan.
Lieutenant Gyula Kovacs and Captain Krisztian Nemes died recently while
trying to defuse home made explosive devices in Baghlan Province, Afghanistan.
Both were entrapped, and became targets of terrorists, the report said.
The Hungarian Armed Forces is operating a Provincial Reconstruction
Team (PRT) in Baghlan Province. The construction team, consisting of 250
soldiers, has been working in Baghlan since 2006. The team includes nine
explosives experts.
