German Chancellor Angela Merkel says that some actions in Syria come "very close to war crimes." She said: "I think we are very close to war crimes. Whether there are war crimes, the International Court of Justice decides." The chancellor made her comments to a conference of her conservative bloc's youth wing in the western German city of Paderborn. She noted that talks between U.S. and Russia are resuming, "but all these talks unfortunately haven't in the recent past led to a permanent cease-fire."
