U.S.-led anti-Islamic State spokesman says not right time for Syria no-fly zone

DUBAI (Reuters) - The time is not right for a no fly-zone over northern Syria, spokesman for the U.S.-led military campaign against Islamic State U.S. Army Colonel Steve Warren said in a interview with Saudi-owned Al Arabiya Hadath TV.

"Now is not the appropriate time for a no-fly zone in northern Syria, which would be costly in terms of equipment and personnel and I think it won't help the situation," Warren said in translated comments aired on the pan-Arab channel.
