US says NATO may join anti-ISIS coalition

NATO is considering joining the US-led coalition fighting Islamic State (ISIS) jihadists in Syria and Iraq, US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said Thursday.

 

“Thanks to the leadership of NATO (head) Jens Stoltenberg we are exploring the possibility of NATO joining the coalition as a member itself,” Carter said after a meeting of the coalition in Brussels to discuss increasing their contributions to the campaign.

 

The coalition already includes all 28 NATO member states individually but not the alliance in its own right.
