Denmark contributes to help rid Libya of chemical arms
COPENHAGEN- Lawmakers in Denmark have voted to send a Danish container vessel, a support ship and 200 staff members to an international operation to rid lawless Libya of its chemical weapons arsenal.
In a 99-0 vote with 80 absentees, Denmark's Folketing legislature decided Friday to send the contribution to the UN-backed Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
The operation would be led by Denmark, but other countries including Finland and Germany are expected to join, according to Denmark's Foreign Ministry.
