Denmark to Pull F-16 Fighter Jets from Syria, Iraq: TV2

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Denmark will withdraw its seven F-16 fighter jets from military operations in Syria and Iraq, broadcaster TV2 said on Friday.

The move comes after a US military investigation this week said Danish war planes were involved in a Sept. 17 coalition airstrike, where a series of "unintentional human errors" killed the Syrian army forces instead of Daesh (ISIL or ISIS) terrorists.

NATO member Denmark is part of the US-led operation "Inherent Resolve", which claims to target Daesh that has declared a caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria.

The decision to withdraw the jets was taken by newly appointed foreign minister Anders Samuelsen of the Liberal Alliance party and defense minister Claus Hjort Frederiksen of The Liberals, TV2 said, Reuters reported.
