U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has urged NATO to prepare for the possible use of chemical weapons by Syria and called for alliance members to boost their assistance to the Syrian opposition.
Kerry said contingency plans should be put in place to guard against the threat of a chemical weapons strike.
“Planning regarding Syria, such as what [NATO] has already done, is an appropriate undertaking for the alliance,” Kerry told NATO foreign ministers yesterday in Brussels. “We should also carefully and collectively consider how NATO is prepared to respond to protect its members from a Syrian threat, including any potential chemical weapons threat.”
Speaking at a news conference after the meeting, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen noted that “the situation in Syria has dramatically deteriorated” and “continues to pose a threat to regional stability.”
He said the alliance is “extremely concerned about the use of ballistic missiles in Syria and the possible use of chemical weapons.” However, he also noted that NATO has not yet been asked to intervene.
