BAGHDAD, 27 June (IRIN) - The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) has announced the opening of a new training centre in the capital, Baghdad, for Iraqi security forces.

The move comes as daily attacks continue inside the country and the US steps up measures to deploy Iraqi troops in the front line against the insurgency.

"We have reached a consensus that it will be a better way to serve the Iraqi forces with a better equipped and specialised centre inside the country," NATO spokesman Robert Pszczel said from the Belgian capital, Brussels.
