Turkey asks US-led coalition for air support at Syria’s al-Bab
Turkey on Monday called on members of the US-led coalition against Islamic State to provide air support for Turkey-backed troops laying siege to the Syrian town of al-Bab, held by fighters from the group.
“The international coalition must carry out its duties regarding aerial support to the battle we are fighting in al-Bab.

Not giving the necessary support is unacceptable,” President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s spokesman, Ibrahim Kalin, told a news conference.

Rebels supported by Turkish troops have laid siege to the town for weeks in the “Euphrates Shield” operation.
