TURKEY: A missile-loaded US Air Force warplane rises in the sky after taking off from Incirlik Air Base of Turkey on September 25 for a daily patrolling mission over northern Iraq. The base hosts some 50 US and British warplanes policing a no-fly zone above the 36th parallel in northern Iraq. Turkey would allow the use of Incirlik for a possible US military response to terrorist attacks in United States. —AP/PTI
