ANKARA, Turkey (AP) 鈥?Turkey's foreign minister insisted Monday there was no new agreement with the United States on using Turkish bases for operations against the Islamic State militants.

In comments carried by the state-run , Foreign Minister said, however, that the two countries had agreed to train and equip opposition forces.
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Brazil coach Dunga has made a perfect start to his second stint in charge of the national side and Tuesday s friendly win over Japan offered him plenty of reasons to feel that July s World Cup nightmare could soon be forgotten.

"There is no decision at the moment concerning Incirlik or any other issue," Anadolu quoted Cavusoglu as saying in reference to a key air base in southern Turkey.
 
+
Earlier, a government official said Turkey and the United States were still talking about the Incirlik air base as well as Turkish demands for the creation of a no-fly zone and a safe haven for refugees. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the issue publicly.
  As hosts, Felipe Scolari s side bullied their way through to the semi-finals before a 7-1 humiliation to Germany cost the coach his job and left many observers believing the rebuilding job would be a long and painful process.

On Sunday, U.S. defense officials said Turkey would let U.S. and coalition forces use its bases for operations against Islamic State militants.

Islamic State extremists have carved out a vast stretch of territory from northern Syria to the outskirts of Baghdad and imposed a harsh version of Islamic rule. The fighters have massacred hundreds of captured Iraqi and Syrian soldiers, terrorized religious minorities, and beheaded two American journalists and two British aid workers. Hundreds of thousands of refugees have fled into Turkey from Syria ahead of the militants.
Dunga, who led the side from 2006-10, was handed the task of restoring respectability for the five-times World Cup winners and his spotless record in four matches since taking over and the form of mercurial forward Neymar suggests Brazil are already on an upward trajectory.
+
A has been carrying out airstrikes against the militant targets in and around the Syrian border town of Kobani for more than two weeks. The town's fate has emerged as a major test of whether the air campaign can roll back the extremists in Syria.

Turkish Prime Minister , in comments published Sunday in the Milliyet newspaper, said the Incirlik air base was already being used for reconnaissance purposes in Iraq, but suggested its use for wider operations would depend on whether Turkey's demands for a no-fly zone and a safe zone in Syria are met.
Neymar was brilliant in Singapore on Tuesday, wowing a pro-Brazil crowd of 51,577 as he revelled in a free-roaming role to score all four goals in a 4-0 thrashing for a dominant Brazil side that exuded confidence from the kickoff.

"There are activities that we are already undertaking jointly from Incirlik, concerning Iraq: the Predators, the reconnaissance flights can continue," Davutoglu told Milliyet, referring to unnamed aerial vehicles.
 
+
"But as a base for a more extensive operation 鈥?if they are expecting the contribution of any country 鈥?we have already made our position clear: there has to be a no-fly zone and a safe haven must be declared," he said.
  I tinkered with the lineup today as I wanted to see how we played without a striker in the second half, Dunga told reporters, having already beaten arch-rivals Argentina 2-0 in a Beijing friendly on Saturday.  
+
On the ground Monday, a suicide bomber from the Islamic State group detonated his explosive-laden vehicle in Kobani amid fierce fighting with Kurdish militiamen there.
 
+
The sound of explosions and occasional gunfire could be heard across the border from Kobani a day after Kurdish fighters managed to slow the advance of the jihadist group. What appeared to be a rocket-propelled grenade struck a minaret in the center of the town, emitting a cloud of white smoke.
I did this because Neymar picked up a cold after the match in China and I thought it would be better to give him freedom and let him concentrate only on scoring goals, Dunga added.  
+
Activists said Islamic State militants were carrying out a three-pronged attack from the eastern side of the town and that clashes were reported in the southern part.
 
+
The Syrian Kurdish enclave has been the scene of heavy fighting since late last month, with the better-armed Islamic State fighters determined to capture the border post.
All the formations seem to suit this team as I like to try different things. Even at the end when we had no strikers, it worked well.  
+
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for said an Islamic State suicide bomber detonated a car filled with explosives Monday in the northern part of Kobani near the border with Turkey. It said the car was headed to the border crossing between Kobani and Turkey.
 
+
Later Monday, another suicide attacker blew himself up in a vehicle east of Kobani near the security quarter that houses the main police station and other local government offices, according to the Observatory and Kobani-based activist .
ADDED RESPONSIBILITIES

Shami said the first vehicle appeared to have exploded prematurely. There was no immediate word on casualties from either explosion.

Shami said coalition aircraft flying over Kobani had struck 10 times Sunday and Monday.
Dunga added that not too much should be made of the victory over an inexperienced Japan side also going through a rebuilding process but was full of praise for his talismanic striker, who took his international tally to 40 goals in 58 matches.

We have told him he still has a lot of areas where he can improve, the 50-year-old coach added.

+
  Now that he is captain he has more responsibility and status in the Brazil team. He has responded well to this yet still looks like he is playing with his friends. We still want to see him play even better.

Dunga admitted he was delighted with his side s attitude on the short Asian tour and felt that following the 1-0 friendly wins over Colombia and Ecuador last month, his squad was showing a strong desire and hunger to revive Brazil s fortunes.
+
 
+
The way we played these two matches shows that the team is in the right frame of mind, he said.  
+
 
+
  We beat a competitive and world class Argentina side and a Japan team that did not have jet-lag like we did. I thought we were very professional in both matches with players out to prove they already want to be considered for the next World Cup.
