UAE resumes air strikes against ISIS
The United Arab Emirates resumed air strikes Tuesday against ISIS which it had suspended after the jihadis captured a Jordanian pilot in December, the military said, according to AFP.
"Aircraft of the F-16 squadron based in Jordan launched raids this morning against positions of the Daesh [ISIS] terrorist organization, hitting their targets and returning safely to base," the UAE armed forces command said.
The fighter squadron deployed to Jordan Sunday to boost the kingdom's fight against ISIS after the jihadis brutally murdered the captured pilot.
