(Reuters) - Dresdner Bank, part of the Allianz (ALVG.DE: Quote, Profile, Research) insurance group, intends to support a rescue package for U.S. bond insurer Ambac Financial Group Inc (ABK.N: Quote, Profile, Research) with a sum in the low double-digit millions of euros, the head of Dresdner's investment banking operations said on Monday.

Various rescue options for Ambac were now under discussion, Stefan Jentzsch told reporters. "If what is now on the table comes to pass then we will take part in the package," he said.
