U
S Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday urged NATO to prepare for the possible use of chemical weapons by Syria and called for alliance members to boost their assistance to the Syrian opposition.
Attending his first meeting of the alliance's governing body, the North Atlantic Council, as America's top diplomat, Kerry said contingency plans should be put in place to guard against the threat of a chemical weapons strike. NATO ally Turkey borders Syria and would be most at-risk from such an attack. NATO has already deployed Patriot missile batteries in Turkey.
"Planning regarding Syria, such as what [NATO] has already done, is an appropriate undertaking for the alliance," Kerry told NATO foreign ministers.
