Turkey Sends Reinforcements To Border With Syria

BEIRUT (AP) – Turkey is continuing to reinforce its border with Syria as it prepares to launch a military incursion against Kurdish fighters who had been U.S. allies against Islamic State group  militants.  Associated Press journalists on Tuesday witnessed three convoys made up of dozens of military vehicles – including trucks carrying armored personnel carriers and tanks – driving toward  the border town of Akcakale.  Residents cheered and applauded as one of the convoys passed by.  Earlier, Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency reported that at least two convoys of buses carrying Turkish commandos headed toward the border Tuesday.
