Poland reveals 2012 deadline for Afghan exit

The likely victor of Poland’s forthcoming presidential election (4 July 2010) said the nation should pull its troops out of Afghanistan by 2012, adding to the list of nations readying early withdrawals from the Nato mission.

In a move that increases growing international unease over the future of the war, Bronislaw Komorowski, acting president, said Poland should inform its allies in the autumn of 2010 of the new deadline.
