Iraq considering Australian airstrike request

CANBERRA - Iraq's ambassador to Australia on Thursday gave no timetable for when his government might decide on Australia's request to launch airstrikes against Islamic State targets.

 

Australia has six F/A-18F Super Hornet jet fighters waiting on standby in the United Arab Emirates for final authorization to begin combat missions with the US-led coalition.

 

"We are seriously considering the request from Australia," Ambassador Mouayed Saleh told The Associated Press.
