Breaking: NATO looking to enter ISIS fight, steps up support for Ukraine

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) is looking to train Iraqi officers and provide other direct support to the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, to alleviate the burden on U.S. and other coalition members' resources.

"We will discuss how we can extend our training for Iraqi officers as they continue to fight ISIL," said the NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Wednesday, using another acronym for ISIS.

"We will consider how we can provide direct support to the coalition against ISIL with AWACS surveillance aircraft," he added. AWACS stands for Airborne Warning and Control System, and is essentially a flying air traffic control tower.
