Turkey is expected to request on Monday that NATO missiles be placed on its border with Syria to defend against mortar rounds fired from its neighbor, Germany's defense minister said.

Only the United States, the Netherlands and Germany have the appropriate Patriot missile system available. Germany would analyze such a request "with solidarity", Defence Minister Thomas de Maiziere said.
