ANTALYA, Turkey, Nov 15, 2015 (AFP) - US President Barack Obama landed in a heavily guarded Turkish resort on the Mediterranean Sunday to join a summit clouded by the Paris assaults claimed by Islamic State jihadists.

Air Force One landed at 7am (0500 GMT) at the airport of Antalya, a holiday destination bristling with 12,000 police and multiple security checkpoints to guard leaders of the Group of 20 top economies, who officially kick off a two-day meeting Sunday.
