US military experts arrive in Liberia
MONROVIA (AFP) Jul 07, 2003
A team of US military experts arrived Monday in the Liberian capital Monrovia amid international pressure for Washington to lead a peacekeeping force to the war-wracked west African nation.

The team will assess "the situation and determine whether further humanitarian assistance is required" in Liberia, Lieutenant Corey Baker told AFP by phone early Monday from Madrid, after the military experts had set off from the US military base at Rota in southern Spain.
