NATO spokesman James Apputhurai said details such as rules of engagement still needed to be worked out. He said no date was agreed but the alliance wanted to launch a mission as soon as possible.
The Pentagon yesterday said U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld will request quicker action from NATO at a meeting next week in the face of intensifying violence in Iraq.
