BAGHDAD, Aug 9, 2008 (AFP) - Georgia will withdraw its entire 2,000-strong military contingent from Iraq within the next three days to help battle South Ossetian separatist rebels, a senior Georgian military official said Saturday.
"We are actually in the stage of preparing our departure," Colonel Bondo Maisuradze, chief of Georgia's military operations in Iraq, told AFP.
"We are waiting for the green light from Tbilisi to leave Iraq today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
