WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid on Monday set a test vote for later this week on a resolution requested by President Barack Obama to authorize military strikes against Syria.

Reid said the Senate will vote on Wednesday on whether to begin consideration of a bipartisan use-of-force resolution, which will need 60 votes in the 100-member chamber to clear anticipated procedural roadblocks. At this point, it is uncertain if the measure will attract such backing.
