Anonymous Coward User ID: 67865942 Hong Kong 02/09/2015 08:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 2,000 UK troops, RAF spy plane bound for Jordan to combat ISIS The UK will send 2,000 specialist troops and a spy plane to Jordan to aid its efforts to defeat the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), a government source has revealed.
The decision follows criticism from the Commons Defence Select Committee that the UK was not committing sufficient troops or resources to the area.
An initial group of 60 military planners will join a coalition HQ in Jordan, which will be used to co-ordinate support of Kurdish and Iraqi troops, followed by a further 2,000 who will mainly act in a training capacity, the source told the Express. |
