Denmark - Sept 26

ISIS is causing violence and seizing territory in northern Iraq and Syria. Britain (524:43 votes), Belgium (114:2 votes), and Denmark (94:9 votes) join US-led coalition against ISIS. 10/01, Denmark voted to join strikes against ISIS and sends 7 fighter jets, 120 soldiers, and 40 support staff. Difficult decision says PM Helle Throning-Schmidt. These countries agree to hit ISIS targets but not Syria. Fuad Masum (Iraqi President) applauded US-led international coalition but warns of control/power of ISIS. Source: DW, Radio Free Europe
