Syria's President Bashar al-Assad: 'Informed Of US Air Strikes Through Third Parties'

BBC: Assad says Syria is informed on anti-IS air campaign

Syria's President Bashar al-Assad says his government is receiving messages from the US-led coalition battling the jihadist group, Islamic State.

Mr Assad told the BBC that there had been no direct co-operation since air strikes began in Syria in September.

But third parties - among them Iraq - were conveying "information".

WNU Editor: I am sure that the Syrian Air Force is being informed .... otherwise we will be hearing reports of Syrian fighters being shot down whenever the U.S. led coalition conducts air strikes.
