War Secretary Donald Rumsfeld yesterday accused the neutral country Austria of blocking the movement of U.S. troops. Troops are attempting to move via train from Germany through Austria to Italy in preparation for war against Iraq. ABC News reports a spokesperson at the Austrian Embassy in Washington confirmed the blockade. Austria is a neutral state and restricts the movement of foreign military equipment across its territory. Rumsfeld was speaking before the Senate Armed Services Committee and arguing it’s an example of problems in stationing more than 70,000 troops in Germany.
