Deployment schedule set for MLO teams

    NAIROBI
    The schedule for the deployment of military liaison officers (MLO) teams by the UN observer mission MONUC holds that the first batch, including Kindu, should have been completed by Friday, MONUC spokesman General David Hannah told IRIN. Four teams should then be attached to the regional JMC locations at Boende, Lisala, Kabinda - where OAU personnel are already located - and, in due course, Kabalo, by 23 December. Four more teams should be positioned at Kisangani, Gemena, Isiro and Lubumbashi by 30 December; and then two teams, to be situated at Kalemie and Mbuji-Mayi respectively, should be in place by 7 January, General Hannah said.
