Two Iraqi Navy corvettes are to go
home later today after more than 26 years in Italy following the
1990 UN arms embargo on Iraq in the wake of the invasion of
Kuwait.
Iraqi soldiers who have been guarding the Mussa Ben Nassair
and the Tariq Ibn Ziad, commissioned by Saddam Hussein from
Fincantieri, will finally go home.
They will travel to the port of Umm Qasr, near Nassiriya,
under the escort of the Norwegian floating-dock ship Eide
Trader.
