SPD leader rejects any German role in war in Syria
None
The leader of Germany's Social Democrats said on Monday her party would not approve any participation of Germany in the war in Syria, opening a potential new line of conflict in Chancellor Angela Merkel's loveless coalition government.
SPD leader Andrea Nahles issued a terse statement after the Bild newspaper reported that Germany's conservative-led defence ministry was examining possible options for joining US, British and French forces in any future military action if the Syrian government again used chemical weapons.
