Australia to send military forces to Middle East
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said that Australia had received a specific request from the US government to contribute forces to a possible military action in Iraq, Brisbane Times reported.
Australia will send around 600 military personnel, eight Super Hornet aircraft, an early warning and control aircraft, aerial refuelling aircraft and a Special Forces contingent.
Prime Minister Abbott said the deployment did not mean Australia was at war.
