President Charles Taylor of Liberia has said that the global coalition formed to fight terrorism can use Liberia's airport facilities and airspace.
Speaking from the executive mansion, Mr. Taylor said: "The fight is just" and promised that Liberia "will remain on the side of good."
He also pledged to contribute additional assistance, saying: "We are not ruling out the possibility of providing troops, neither are we taking it off the table, it all depends on what is requested."
