Chancellor Merkel: Germany Will Not Join Bombing Campaign in Syria

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on April 12 that a range of measures must be considered to tackle the crisis in Syria, but German forces will not attack the Syrian Army or other government forces.

She also said that “it is important to show unity on Syria” and warned that it’s “obvious” the Syrian government has not destroyed its entire stockpile of chemical weapons, as it agreed to do in 2013.
