Wednesday September 12 12:57 PM ET NATO Preparing to Invoke Treaty Over U.S. Attacks BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) - NATO (news - web sites) is expected to declare later Wednesday that Tuesday's terror attacks on the United States come under the alliance's mutual defense arrangements, diplomats said. They said a draft statement to be issued by NATO Secretary-General George Robertson was circulated to allied capitals and would be adopted at an emergency NATO council meeting Wednesday afternoon unless any of the allies objected. ``The secretary-general has proposed that NATO issues a declaration that this is a case that falls under Article V,'' one diplomat said. The NATO press office confirmed that Robertson had scheduled an 2 p.m. EDT news conference after the council reconvenes at 1:30 p.m. EDT for its third deliberation in 24 hours on the attacks. The statement would refer to Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty, never before invoked, which declares an attack on one to be an attack on all and commits each member to take ''such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.''
