U.S. to Provide Additional Assistance for the French-Led Intervention in Mali

equipment to Mali, a limited expansion of American support in the
battle against Islamist rebels there, U.S. officials said on
Thursday.
The U.S. decision, while widely expected, comes after an Obama administration legal review to decide what assistance Washington could provide to France, which last week began a military operation against the militants in Mali.
