From French source: Russia targeting Syria opposition, not IS
A French diplomat is accusing Russia of targeting opposition groups in Syria and not Islamic State militants as it claims, Reuters reports.
Russia is a self-declared ally of Syrian leader Bashar Assad, and says backing his army is the best way to fight IS.
“If it is Homs, which it seems to be, it is not Daesh (Islamic State) that they are targeting, but probably opposition groups, which confirms that they are more in support of Bashar’s regime than in fighting Daesh,” Reuters quotes the unnamed source as saying.
