Warsaw - A majority 60 per cent of Poles oppose plans by the United States to locate 10 anti-ballistic missile silos in Poland as part of a missile defence shield against possible future nuclear terror attacks by so-called rogue states like Iran and North Korea. Poland's independent Warsaw-based CBOS pollsters also found 26 per cent of those polled support the plan, which US President George W. Bush and Polish President Lech Kaczynski are expected to discuss in Washington DC in mid-July. CBOS found that opposition to the project grew by five per cent since February and appears to be rooted in fears sparked by Russian threats to point its missiles at Europe should nearby Poland host the US missile shield. The survey was conducted on a random representative national sample of 903 adult Poles June 1-4. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
