Nelson announces more Aust troops bound for Iraq

Defence Minister Dr Brendan Nelson has announced an expansion of Australia's role in Iraq.

Australian forces are currently providing an overseeing role in the Iraqi controlled Al Muthanna Province.

That will be expanded to include the Dhi Qar province, once Italian forces withdraw at the end of next month.

Dr Nelson says an additional 20 troops will be deployed to Iraq in the coming weeks to support the new role.
