The UAE said that it was ready to supply ground troops to help support and train an international military coalition against the Islamic State in Syria provided such efforts were led by the US. Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said that the UAE would not mobilise a thousand troops, however it would still take troops on the ground that will lead the way, that will train, that will support. He added that an American leadership in this effort is a pre-requisite for this move by the UAE. (Reuters)
