Turkey wants Nato missile shield

Turkey wants Nato missile shield: Turkey has called for Nato Patriot surface-to-air missiles to bolster its defences along its border with Syria.

"Allies will discuss this without delay," said Nato Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

He said the deployment would augment alliance member Turkey's air defence capabilities and "would contribute to the de-escalation of the crisis along Nato's south-eastern border."
