Bulgaria's Defense Ministry is mulling the option of sending a battalion to take care of security at the southern Afghan airport in Kandahar.
Bulgarian soldiers are currently on a safekeeping mission at the Airport in Kabul.
The defense ministers of the NATO member countries gathered in Sevilla discussed this opportunity at the summit with their Bulgarian counterpart Vesselin Bliznakov, Darik News reported. Should the government approve the suggestion, the Bulgarian safe-keeping contingent will take care of all security-related issues inside the airport building. American troops will guard the outside of the building.
Kandahar is one of the most dangerous areas in Afghanistan and suicide attacks there happen almost on a daily basis.
