Syria: US tells Russia to end its bombing
Kerry demands that Islamic State be Moscow’s sole target

THE US-LED “coalition” against Syria warned Russia against continuing its new air war against Islamic State (Isis) and other terrorists.

A joint statement by France, Germany, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Britain and the United States expressed “concern,” claiming the Russian campaign would “only fuel more extremism and radicalisation.”

Syrian-based Saudi fundamentalist Abdullah al-Muhaysini chimed in with the Western powers, warning that the country would become a “graveyard for invaders.”
