UK Defence Secretary suggests air strikes in Syria

The British Defence Secretary has opened the conversation about beginning air strikes on Islamic Sate militants in Syria.


It comes after the latest terror attack in Sousse, Tunisia, in which 30 British people were killed after a gunman with links to IS targeted tourists on a beach before detonating explosives in a hotel.


While the British Government dos not need the backing of MPs to begin airstrikes in Syria, the Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon has said that action would not be taken without a majority vote.


He began by explaining to the House of Commons the work Britain is currently doing to remove the threat of the Islamic State.
