France's Fabius: EU Partners May Offer Troops for Mali

Some of France's EU partners are considering whether to offer troops to back up its military campaign in Mali against Islamist insurgents, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Thursday.

After emergency EU talks on Mali, Fabius said all had "expressed their solidarity with Mali and support for France's action" and some were mulling "an offer of troops," although "we won't force anyone."
