Any troops going? Rumsfeld asks world's newest army
By Sam Knight and agencies

Donald Rumsfeld, the US Defence Secretary, flew into Montenegro today to ask for help in the war against terrorism from the world's newest army.

A Pentagon spokesman said Mr Rumsfeld would discuss what contribution the Montenegrin military, which became independent from Serbia three months ago, would be prepared to make to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"That’s on the table," said Eric Ruff, speaking to reporters on board Mr Rumsfeld's aircraft to Podgorica, the capital of the small, Adriatic state of around 650,000 people.

"There will be discussion about what kind of involvement they see in the global war, and certainly any kind of support for specifically the Central Command region would be greatly appreciated."

From the CIA world factbook (updated 9/16):

-Montenegro is slightly smaller than CT
-Labor force: 259,100 (2004)
-Five airports, 3 of them with paved runways
-Military: Montenegrin plans call for the establishment of a fully professional armed forces
