ByJuliePace The Associated Press WASHINGTON President Barack Obama and mili- tary chiefs from more than 20 nations gathered Tues- day in a show of strength against Islamic State fight- ers in Iraq and Syria. But the alliance faced a fresh test as Turkey launched airstrikes against Kurdish rebels inside its borders, defying pleas from the U.S. to instead focus on the IS. The attacks marked Tur- key's first major airstrikes against Kurdish rebels on its own soil since peace talks began two years ago, and occurred amid height- ened concern over Islamic State advances on the Syr- ian town of Kobani. Kurds in Turkey accuse the gov- ernment there of standing idly by while Syrian Kurds are being killed in the be- sieged border town. The U.S. has been press- ing Turkey to take a more active role in the campaign to destroy the Islamic State group. Officials from An- kara were participating in Tuesday's meeting at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, where U.S. of- ficials said the coalition countries were to discuss their strategy. Obama was expected to speak to reporters there af- ter an afternoon session. Earlier Tuesday, the U.S.- led coalition launched 21 airstrikes in and around Kobani. One of the strikes targeted the Tel Shair hill that overlooks parts of the city, according to Idriss Nassan, deputy head of Kobani's foreign relations committee. Nassan said Kurdish fighters later captured the hill and brought down the black flag of the Islamic State group. The extremist group still controls more than a third of the predom- inantly Kurdish town. While the White House has tried to point out progress in the campaign against the militants, the government is also pre- paring the American pub- lic for a military effort that could extend well beyond Obama's presidency. SHOW OF STRENGTH Obama, allies plot strategy against ISIS By Emily Schmall The Associated Press FORT WORTH, TEXAS The nation's top-disease fight- ing agency acknowledged Tuesday that an Ameri- can nurse might not have been infected with Ebola if a special response team had been sent to Dallas im- mediately after a Liberian man there was diagnosed with Ebola. The stark admission from the director of the Centers for Disease Con- trol and Prevention came as the World Health Orga- nization projected the pace of infections accelerating in West Africa — to as many as 10,000 new cases a week within two months. Agency Director Tom Frieden outlined a series of steps designed to stop the spread of the disease in the U.S., including increased training for health care workers and changes at the Texas hospital where the vi- rus was diagnosed to min- imize the risk of more in- fections. The announcement of the effort came after top health officials repeatedly assured the public over the last two weeks that they were do- ing everything possible to control the outbreak by de- ploying infectious-disease specialists to the hospital where a Liberian man was diagnosed with Ebola and later died. "I wish we had put a team like this on the ground the day the patient — the first patient — was diagnosed. That might have prevented this infection. But we will do that from today onward with any case anywhere in the U.S.," Frieden said. Frieden described the new response team as hav- ing some of the world's lead- ing experts in how to care for Ebola and protect health care workers.

A wet day is also in store for the Pacific Northwest with the heavi- est rain falling along the region's coast. Showers will dot the Midwest and Ohio Valley.
