US-Russia to Coordinate Airstrikes on Both Nusra, Daesh in Syria

US Department of State deputy spokesperson Mark Toner said that Russia and the United States will coordinate airstrikes on the Daesh and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, formerly the Nusra Front, in Syria.

Both the Daesh and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, formerly the Nusra Front, are legitimate targets of US-Russian coordinated airstrikes in Syria under the new deal, US Department of State deputy spokesperson Mark Toner said at a press briefing on Wednesday.

"Somebody asked me yesterday [if] it is just Nusra who can be targeted by coordinated US and Russia strikes," Toner told reporters. "I said I thought it was just Nusra. That was incorrect; it’s Nusra and ISIL [Islamic State] targets, for the record," Toner told reporters.
