Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta has approved the request from Paris to provide French warplanes
with mid-air refueling as French-led forces in Mali advance on the key
northern city of Timbuktu. Saturday, they captured the key town of Gao
and other towns from Al Qaeda and rebel forces. Many Islamists fled into
desert hideouts and will be hard to hunt down. The Pentagon is also
discussing widening US involvement in the French-led campaign to
liberate northern Mali from Islamist extremist rule by helping to
transport troops from other African countries including Chad and Togo.
The French are preparing to hand over securing Gao to forces from Niger
and Chad.
