Germany To Ship Weapons To Northern Iraq

WAREN, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 18: On a military vehicle of the type "Wolf" of the Bundeswehr, the German armed forces, is fixed a wrench with the inscription "We screw for you to 22 Clock" during the preparation to pack containers with weapons destined for northern Iraq at a military base on September 18, 2014 in Waren, Germany. The shipment includes 4,000 G3 assault rifles, 4,000 P1 handguns, 20 Milan anti-tank launchers, 20 MG 3 machine guns and assorted other weapons. Although Germany opposes the practice of exporting weapons to warzones, the government has made an exception to arm the Kurdish forces battling 'Islamic State' militants.
