No-confidence vote is set on Bonn Cabinet minister

Opposition Social Democrats forced the Bundestag to schedule a no-confidence vote against Economics Minister Otto Lambsdorff, accused of taking $50,000 in bribes from the West German conglomerate Flick.

Party leader Hans-Jochen Vogel said the no-confidence vote will be taken Friday in the Bundestag, the lower house of Parliament.
