The LEFT parliamentary group today voted unanimously against a prolongation of the German army mission in Afghanistan and a further build-up of German troops. Before the vote a scandal took place in the Parliament: Bundestag President Norbert Lammert threw the entire parliamentary group out of the hemicycle after they, in silent protest, had held up posters bearing names of Afghans who had fallen victim to the NATO bombardment of two gasoline trucks in Kunduz.
