Schroeder: There will be no German troops in Iraq

BERLIN - German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder on Wednesday renewed his firm opposition to deploying troops to Iraq, a spokesman said, slapping down hints at a change in policy from his defense minister.

Deputy government spokesman Thomas Steg told reporters that Schroeder had told the cabinet "clearly and unequivocally" that Germany had no plans to send military personnel to Iraq.

"There will be no German soldiers in Iraq," Steg said, adding that Germany was nevertheless prepared to continue helping in the areas of reconstruction and training Iraqi soldiers and police outside Iraq.
