Nato to join air war in Syria and Iraq
NATO’s secretary-general confirmed yesterday that the Western military alliance would join the US-led bombing coalition in Syria and Iraq.

But he claimed: “It does not mean that Nato will engage in combat operations.” Fewer than half the 28 member states currently do.
