NATO Agree to do more in Fight Against IS

NATO Agree to do more in Fight Against IS

KABUL - NATO top brass has recommended that the military alliance shall join the international coalition fighting the Islamic State group, a media report said on Thursday.
Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump has demanded that NATO do more to combat terrorism.
NATO Military Committee head General Petr Pavel said Wednesday that "there is a merit for NATO becoming a member of that coalition."
Pavel said armed forces chiefs agreed "that NATO can and should do more" to increase the capacity of Iraq and other countries fighting IS to better defend themselves.
NATO's role could include training local forces and helping to build militaries and institutions, he said.
NATO countries do not want the alliance engaged in active combat against Islamic State militants, even though all are individual members of the anti-IS coalition.
US President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet NATO leaders in Brussels next week. (Pajhwok)
