German parliament approves military mission in Syria - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Germany's Parliament voted to join the fight against the Islamic State
in Syria on Friday.
The vote of 445 to 145 came after Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen
outlined, earlier this week, the limits of Germany's involvement: under
United Nations and European Union collective security laws, Germany
would commit six reconnaissance warplanes, a refueling aircraft, a
frigate to help guard a French aircraft carrier and up to 1,200
logistics and command personnel, with no on-ground combat involvement.
The vote in Parliament came in response to France's request for help
defeating IS following the Nov. 13 terrorist shootings in Paris, and a
day after the United Kingdom committed fighter planes and other
resources to the cause."
