German Defence Minister rejects NATO role in Iraq

IRNA

Berlin, Dec 5, IRNA -- German Defence Minister Peter Struck on 
Friday spoke out against a NATO engagement in the Iraq crisis, DPA 
reported. 
"I do not see any role for NATO in Iraq," he said during a visit 
in Pristina. 
His remarks come as US Secretary of State Colin Powell, hoping 
to ease pressure on US troops, is drumming up support for a direct 
NATO role in violence-torn country. 
NATO suffered a major divide during the Iraq conflict with 
France, Germany, and Belgium unwilling to join the US-led war.
