Officials say the United States and Turkey have come up with a plan to expell ISIS militants from a 60-mile stretch along the Syrian-Turkish border.

U.S. warplanes and Turkish troops would help clear the ground and create a no-fly zone.
Turkish outlets say the zone might go as far as 25 miles into Syria, but the Times reports that only 60 rebels are available to take the ground. Read more at The New York Times.
