The request was the reason for a surprise meeting of the Turkish leadership held on Friday, the channel said. The US has requested to use the Incirlik base in southern Turkey and to increase the number of its warplanes already stationed there, NTV said. Incirlik has been home to US and British jets enforcing the northern no-fly zone over Iraq. The United States has also asked for permission to use two other miltary bases in the southeastern cities of Diyarbakir and Batman, which are closer to the Iraqi border, according to the report. It did not include a request for the deployment of US troops on Turkish soil. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
