| Germany to consider humanitarian aid of Bundeswehr in Iraq |
| 2004-01-14 |
German sources only for now
The Spiegel reports that Schroeder has proposed to send a "flying hospital" (Medevac airbus) operated by the Bundeswehr to Iraq, if the UN okays a NATO mission. Medevac would provide medical aid to coalition troops in Iraq and fly them out. The German opposition seems to approve of the plan. Schroeder also pledged more logistical assistance to European countries militarily involved in Iraq like the UK and Poland.
Small steps, and probably intended as a good will proposal. Schroeder is going to meet Bush next month... |
