Meanwhile, German Defense Minister Thomas de Maiziere praised the French mission on a radio program on Monday, saying that the French intervention was "decisive, correct and deserves our support."

German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle on Sunday called for a political solution to the violence in Mali, but he ruled out Germany's sending combat troops to in the African country, saying that "the involvement of a German fighting force is not up for debate."

In the past days, there was fierce fighting between Islamist rebels and the Malian army. France announced last Friday a sudden military intervention within U.N. resolution in the West African country to respond to Mali's request for military assistance to counter rebel groups' offensive.
