Top brass warn No 10: Avoid Mali escalation –Military chiefs fear action against Islamist rebels could enmesh UK in drawn-out conflict 15 Jan 2013 Defence chiefs have warned against Britain becoming enmeshed in the mission against Islamists in Mali, pointing out that any action could be drawn-out and require significantly greater resources than have so far been deployed. The most senior commanders are due to make their apprehension clear at a meeting of the National Security Council with the Prime Minister today. They have the backing of the Defence Secretary, Philip Hammond. Following three days of French air strikes in Mali, the Islamists launched a counter-offensive yesterday showing they are not a spent force. They attacked government positions in the central town of Diabaly after crossing a river in small groups under cover of darkness. One of the Boeing C-17 Globemasters, hailed by David Cameron yesterday as “our most advanced and capable transport plane”, broke down a few minutes later in Paris, en route to Africa. [Gee, what a shame!]
