US plans anti-missile site in Europe

WASHINGTON: The Bush administration is planning to put in place a new anti-missile base in Europe to shield the United States and its European allies from any possible attacks by Iran, a media report said on Monday.

The proposal, which comes amid rising concerns about Iran’s suspected nuclear programme, calls for installing 10 anti-missile interceptors at a European site by 2011. Poland and the Czech Republic are among the nations under consideration for establishing the base.

A recommendation on a European site is expected to be made this summer to Defence Secretary Donald H Rumsfeld, the the New York Times cited Pentagon officials as saying.

The Pentagon has asked Congress for $56 million to begin initial work on the long-envisioned antimissile site, a request that has run into some opposition in Congress. The final cost, including the interceptors themselves, is estimated at $1.6 billion.

The deployment of interceptors in Poland, for example, would create the first permanent American military presence on that nation’s soil and further solidify the close ties between the defence establishments of the two nations, the report said.

While the plan has been described in Congressional testimony and in published reports, it has received relatively little attention in the United States. But it is a subject of lively discussion in Poland and has also prompted Russian charges that Washington’s hidden agenda is to expand the US presence in the former Warsaw Pact nation.
