They had been previously  deployed for observation duties in Congo, Sudan and Western Sahara, but  it is the first time that they would be serving in Lebanon as part of  the UN peacekeeping force. More than 1,000 Sri Lankan soldiers are currently serving in UN peacekeeping forces, according to army headquarters. Sri Lanka''s first-ever participation in a UN peacekeeping force came  way back in 1960 when some six peacekeepers were deployed in the United  Nations Mission in Congo.[code]msn news[/code]*********no hotlinks please.../moderator</blockquote>
