U.S. Cargo Planes Carrying Patriot Missile Parts Land in Turkey
U.S. cargo planes carrying parts of Patriot missiles landed at Incirlik Air Base on Monday (January 7). U.S. soldiers who will man the Patriot anti-missile batteries to protect Turkey from the spillover of Syria's civil war began arriving in the country on Friday, the U.S. military said. Turkey formally asked NATO for the missiles in November to bolster security along its 900-km (560-mile) border with Syria, which has been torn by a 21-month insurgency against President Bashar al-Assad.
