Washington, February 26 (RHC)-- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says establishing a so-called 'safe zone' in Syria requires between 15,000 to 30,000 foot soldiers.  Kerry made the comments while discussing the years-long Syrian conflict with the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

He told the panel that creating a 'safe zone' is not as simple as it sounds, because aside from shielding the airspace, a large group of soldiers are also required to protect people from Daesh (ISIL) attacks.
