Germany refuses to join in NATO military action
ISLAMABAD, Sep 16 (PNS): Following the pattern of Norway, Germany has also declined to participate in any direct military action launched by North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to combat terrorism.
According to Voice of Germany (VOG), the country would take measures only to facilitate the administrative work for its allies.
NATO's policy-making council invoked a Cold War-era mutual defence pledge for the first time Wednesday, declaring that the attack on the US was an attack on all allies and could draw a collective military response
It is pertinent to mention here that Norway has already announced its refusal to participate in any military action launched by NATO against Afghanistan.
