Turkey calls NATO meeting over IS threat

NATO announces that the North Atlantic Council will meet Tuesday for consultations at Turkey’s request.

The alliance said Sunday that Turkey requested the meeting, which includes ambassadors of all 28 member countries, “in view of the seriousness of the situation after the heinous terrorist attacks in recent days.”

It said in a statement that Turkey would also seek to inform allies of the measures it is taking following an IS suicide bombing near Turkey’s border with Syria that left 32 people dead, and an IS attack on Turkish forces, which killed a soldier.
