(ANSA) - BELGRADE, MAY 14 - The deployment of roughly 4,000 US troops from the "Black Jack" brigade to Europe has been halted. According to the specialised website Stars and Stripes, a Pentagon official has confirmed this. The force left Fort Hood, Texas, a week ago for a nine-month mission in Poland and other areas along NATO's eastern flank. However, the plan has been halted, despite the fact that the majority of the unit's equipment has already been shipped to Europe. (ANSA).
