Britain Begins Bombing Syria, Hours After Parliament Approves Strike

HeadlineDec 03, 2015

British warplanes have begun bombing Syria, only hours after British lawmakers voted 397 to 223 to support Prime Minister David Cameron’s plan to join the U.S.-led bombing campaign. Defense Secretary Michael Fallon says the strikes hit oil fields in eastern Syria controlled by the self-proclaimed Islamic State. The strikes began after a 10-hour debate in Parliament on Wednesday, which divided the opposition Labour Party, led by Jeremy Corbyn. We’ll have more on the vote and the airstrikes later in the broadcast.
