"Romania exporting its warriors" to Libya, reveals Jurnalul National. Reporting that several Arabic newspapers have revealed the presence of Romanians among the mercenaries who are defending the regime of Muammar Gaddafi, the Bucharest daily wonders whether Romania is providing mercenaries around the globe. “This should come as no surprise, though, since more than 15,000 Romanian troops have participated in wars in Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan. Their experience and contacts among foreign militaries [like their previous experience for the most part in the French Foreign Legion] have made them soldiers of choice for private security companies who recruit for conflict zones."
