BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel is expected to announce on Sunday whether she will run for a fourth term in next year's federal election, the Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland media group said on Wednesday. The report cited sources in the executive board of Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU). A spokesman for the chancellery declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.
