The partners in Germany's grand coalition government have reached an agreement that would allow the military to be deployed within the country's borders in case of emergency.
The parliamentary party leader of the Christian Democrats, Volker Kauder, and his Social Democrat counterpart, Peter Struck, announced the agreement following a meeting in Berlin. Both stressed that soldiers would only be deployed to assist in police operations. The change requires an amendment to Germany's constitution.
