Leaders of NATO's 28 member states including U.S. President Barack Obama hoped to forge a new strategic vision for the alliance, which was created soon after World War Two to defend Europe's borders and has expanded despite the demise of its first foe, the Soviet Union. But a dispute between Turkey and Europe over the appointment over a new leader threatened to shatter any semblance of unity after the leaders failed to reach a deal on Friday. Turkey blocked Europe's candidate, Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who had emerged as front-runner to replace Dutchman Jaap de Hoop Scheffer as secretary-general when he steps down at the end on July. Turkey has criticised Rasmussen's handling of a row in 2006 over cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad that offended Muslims. NATO officials put a brave face on the deadlock and said talks would continue on Saturday, the second and last day of the summit that is co-hosted by France and Germany in Strasbourg and nearby Baden-Baden. "We don't have consensus yet," NATO spokesman James Appathurai told a news conference late on Friday. "We will get there. This alliance always gets there." Anti-summit protesters, campaigning to have NATO disbanded following the end of the Cold War, vowed to disrupt Saturday's meeting after two days of sometimes violent clashes. Clashes began several hundred meters (yards) from the summit early on Saturday after protesters defied a security cordon around Strasbourg in eastern France and hurled smoke bombs and fireworks. There were no immediate signs that the most closely guarded security zone around the leaders had been breached. An Iranian journalist based in Germany collapsed with breathing difficulties after being hit in with face with teargas and was taken away by ambulance, witnesses said. Police said they had arrested 25 demonstrators during the night and estimated 1,800 had left a makeshift protest camp on Strasbourg's outskirts in groups, watched by police helicopters. DEADLOCK OVER NATO JOB Leaders had hoped to reach a decision on the top NATO job on Friday, clearing the way for detailed discussions on Saturday over Afghanistan with Obama promoting his new Afghan strategy. In a speech to students on Friday, Obama said Europe was more threatened by al Qaeda than the United States because it was closer to the conflict zones. Continued...
