Despite its opposition to a war in Iraq, France could assist a U.S.-led military coalition if Iraq used biological and chemical weapons, the French ambassador to the United States told CNN on Tuesday.
"If Saddam Hussein were to use chemical and biological weapons, this would change the situation completely and immediately for the French government," Jean-David Levitte told CNN.
Levitte said a decision on any French participation in the war would be made by French President Jacques Chirac in such an event.
