Canada Contributes a Cargo Plane to Mali Effort

But Prime Minister Stephen Harper insists no Canadian Forces personnel will be involved in any combat action in the landlocked West African country.
An al-Qaeda linked group has taken control of the northern part of Mali and is making gains towards the south.
