"NATO has capacity to be able to provide intelligence whether it’s through overflight or inside or other ways. There are assets that NATO has developed, and capacities that NATO has developed to be able to plus up the effort in order to locate terrorists, track terrorists, define who is a terrorist in operations on the ground and help inform the battle commanders," Kerry said.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said earlier in the day that the block is set to discuss on Thursday the possibility of providing the US-led coalition with the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) surveillance planes, to support it in the anti-Daesh fight.
The Islamic State, also known as Daesh, is a terrorist group outlawed in the United States, Russia and numerous other countries. The group has seized large areas in Syria and Iraq and declared a caliphate on territories under its control.
