Turkey Rotates Missiles Towards Syria -- Today's Zaman

Turkey has rotated its surface-to-air towards Syria in the southern province of Hatay after an apparent poison gas attack in Damascus a week ago which may lead to Western military action.

Turkey, which has a 900-kilometer border with Syria, hosts half a million refugees from the two-and-a-half year conflict and is braced for a new influx should Western powers strike.

Update: The Turks are also worried on the chemical stockpiles that the Syrian rebels may have.
