After years of debate, top decision-makers with Germany's coalition partners the Christian Democrats and Social Democrats have agreed that domestic deployment of the country's military should be allowed in emergency.
CDU party head Volker Kauder and his SPD counterpart Peter Struck announced the plan to ammend the constitution after a coalition committee meeting. Both stressed that soldiers may only be deployed to control situations beyond the capacity of police. They named protection against a terrorist threat as a possible example.
