Germany's abstention from the Security Council vote authorizing the use of force against Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi earned it criticism from its international partners. But now the German government, despite its fundamental unwillingness to get involved in the conflict, wants to help its NATO allies attack Gadhafi's troops.

According to information that SPIEGEL ONLINE has obtained from government sources in Berlin, NATO submitted a request to all members asking for technology and components for bombs and other military equipment at the start of last week. Berlin has already responded positively to the request.

In Libya? What would they do if they got into a big conflict?

That is why we had so many of them positioned there.
