Denmark said it will send back its military personnel to Iraq on March 1, after a partial withdrawal because of security concerns, Defence Minister Trine Bramsen said late on Monday. The country temporarily moved some of its troops from Al Asad airbase in early January after Iran fired missiles at bases housing foreign troops. The strikes were in retaliation for the killing of Iranian general Qassem Suleimani in a US drone strike on January 3. Ms Bramsen said the security situation was now no different than before the attack. "In the fight against terror, it is important that Iraq does not again become a hotbed of terrorists' recruitment and training," she said. "Therefore, it is important that we resume the training of Iraqi security personnel so they, in the long run, can take care of the security in Iraq themselves." Shortly after Iran’s retaliatory strikes for Suleimani’s killing, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said 30 to 40 of the country’s 130 soldiers in Iraq would stay while the rest were moved to neighbouring Kuwait. The troops are part of the international coalition against ISIS in Iraq and Syria and their main mission is to train Iraqi security forces in their fight against the extremist group. In early January, Iraq's Parliament voted to call for the withdrawal of US and foreign forces from the country, reflecting the fears of many that the country could be drawn into a proxy war between Washington and Tehran. There are more than 5,000 American troops in Iraq.
