There was no immediate announcement by Danish officials of why they agreed to forgo a revaluation.

Even before the joint statement was issued this evening, Danish officials were promising that the sanctions would be gone by the end of the day.

At last, Masangkay went off to resupply and meet with Danish officials.

Security for the team has been increased, Danish officials said, but no uniformed officers were evident during its 80-minute practice.

Danish officials have complained that the evidence is incomplete and inconsistent.

Danish military officials also had access to sensitive German information, which they delivered to the Allies under government cover.

"We're very concerned," a senior Danish official said.

"We have been in touch with Danish officials to clarify the situation," a Defense Ministry official said.

A Danish official declined to disclose the amount paid but said the terms "were better than those offered by other bidders."

A week before evacuation, a senior Danish official was held up at gunpoint and his car and money stolen.
