Turkey vows 'extensive' fight against IS group will begin shortly

US drones and aircraft have begun arriving at a Turkish air base near Syria, and an “effective” fight against Islamic State (IS) militants will soon begin, Turkey’s foreign minister said.

Mevlut Cavusoglu made the comments on the sidelines of an Asean meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, days after Turkey agreed to let the US-led coalition use its air bases.
