By Associated Press, 9/24/2001 20:49

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) The Hungarian parliament voted overwhelming Monday to open the country's airspace and airfields to U.S.-led missions against terrorist targets as a result of the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington.

The measure, requested by the United States, passed 212-12 in the 386-seat legislature.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban said ''we are gathered today to express our solidarity with and condolences to the people of the United States.''
