German Labour Minister Franz Josef Jung leaves the podium after making a statement, at the Labour ministry in Berlin November 27, 2009. Jung said on Friday he had offered his resignation to Chancellor Angela Merkel following criticism of his previous role as defence minister during the Afghanistan conflict. Jung was defence minister when German forces called in an air strike in Kunduz on September 4 that the Afghan government say killed 69 Taliban fighters and 30 civilians.
