                    NATO Foreign Ministers Meet in Brussels

   NATO foreign ministers are meeting in Brussels for talks expected to
   focus on the conflict in Syria and the withdrawal of alliance forces
   from Afghanistan in 2014.
   NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, commenting on Syria,
   said, "We cannot ignore the risks of regional spillover with possible
   implications for allied security."
   Earlier this year, NATO deployed Patriot anti-missile batteries along
   member Turkey`s border with Syria, after several villages were hit by
   artillery fire.
   On Afghanistan, the coalition will continue to work on defining how it
   will support Afghan forces after 2014.
   Tuesday marks the first time U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is
   meeting with his NATO contemporaries.
   The top U.S. diplomat will host a meeting in Brussels Wednesday with
   Afghan President Hamid Karzai and senior Pakistani officials.
