ADRID,(Saba Net) - Spain completed its troop retreat from Iraq on Friday as the last of its soldiers crossed the border into Kuwait .
A convoy of Spanish troops on trucks and buses set out Friday morning from their base in Diwaniyah and rolled into Kuwait, the Defense Ministry said.

The troops were the last of a contingent of logistics experts and other soldiers who had been packing up gear used by 1,300 soldiers sent by the
previous government to take part in the U.S.-led occupation.

The retreat of those 1,300 was completed late last month on orders from the new Socialist government.
