From Politiken:  Denmark may be preparing to help France in its operation to quash Islamic rebels in the West African state of Mali.

The Danish foreign ministry has announced an extraordinary meeting of the parliamentary Foreign Policy Committee later today which is expected to sanction sending a Hercules transport aircraft and aircraft support personnel to Mali.

“I can confirm that Denmark has offered to send logistical support to the French operation in Mali. We are in dialogue with the Danes and expect a decision very quickly,” French Defence Ministry spokesperson Sacha Mande tells pol.dk.

A Danish foreign ministry source has confirmed that Denmark and France are discussing the issue.  (photo: militaryphotos.net)
