"Turkey has agreed to support train-and-equip efforts for the moderate Syrian opposition," spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters in descrif it bing a visit to Turkey by the two senior U.S. officials responsible for building a coalition to fight the Islamic State militant group in Syria and Iraq.
"There will be a [U.S. Defense Department] planning team traveling to Ankara next week to continue planning that through military channels," she added.
The United States also said on Friday that it sees a higher chance of reprisal attacks on members of the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State since they began air strikes against the fighters last month.
In a periodic update of its "worldwide caution" on potential threats, the State Department noted the United States and regional partners began military action against Islamic State, also referred to as ISIL, on September 22.
"In response to the airstrikes, ISIL called on supporters to attack foreigners wherever they are," it added. "Authorities believe there is an increased likelihood of reprisal attacks against U.S., Western and coalition partner interests throughout the world, especially in the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and Asia."..............http://www.haaretz.com/news/middle-east/1.620175
