France 'may extend airstrikes on Isil to Syria'

President Francois Hollande is studying the possibility of sending French warplanes to attack Isil in Syria.
France was the first country to join the US-led coalition carrying out air strikes on Isil targets in Iraq and has supplied weapons to what it considers moderate rebels fighting President Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
But it has so far ruled out bombing the terror group’s bases in Syria out of fear that this might benefit the Assad regime.
