Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka says his government has approved a plan to send weapons and ammunition to Iraq and ammunition to Jordan to assist in the fight against Daesh.
6,500 assault rifles and 7 million rounds of ammunition will be transported by the US to Iraq for use by Iraqi and Kurdish forces there.
Last week UK Prime Minister David Cameron visited Prague amid objections to the Czechs’ planned sale of Czech-made L-159 light combat planes to Iraq.
The Czech Republic has previously sent tons of ammunition and hand grenades to Iraq.
