    Corbyn opens way for UK Labor MPs to back Syria strikes

    British opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn is offering his Labor Party's MPs a free vote on whether Britain should join airstrikes in Syria but asking Prime Minister David Cameron for more time, media reports said Monday.

    A senior source confirmed a report in The Guardian outlining Corbyn's offer to his top officials, making it more likely that Britain will join the air campaign despite the Labor leader himself being opposed.
