Britain stands ready to send 5,000 troops to the violence-wracked Darfur region of Sudan if required, the head of the army, General Sir Michael Jackson, said Friday.
"If need be, we will be able to go to Sudan," Jackson said in an interview with BBC News 24. "I suspect we could put a brigade together very quickly indeed."
Asked how many troops that would entail, he replied: "Five thousand."
