Mar 24, 2003 (NORDIC BUSINESS REPORT via COMTEX) -- The US-controlled Thule air base in Greenland is reportedly playing a role in the war against Iraq.

US soldiers are operating a radar at Thule which, along with eight other US satellite tracking stations worldwide, supports space operations and communications, Reuters reported.

Thule is also expected to be included in the planned US missile defence system.
