Turkish officials said the U.S. Defense Department has held a series of briefings for Turkish and other NATO envoys on Washington's proposal for a missile defense umbrella. The officials said Washington's offer was for a regional missile defense system that would protect NATO allies throughout Europe. The U.S. offer calls for NATO allies to cooperate with Washington in establishing a network of air and missile defense assets that would protect Europe from an attack from the Middle East or North Korea. Turkish officials said the U.S. proposal was first presented to Turkey in late July and then discussed with other NATO allies last week. Under the proposal, Turkey would be recruited in an industry effort to provide early-warning and other systems for the missile defense umbrella. The officials said the Bush administration has not discussed specifics on funding and technical cooperation. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
