Assad: Britain's bombing of ISIS is destined to fail

Britain's bombing campaign against Islamic State (ISIS) extremists in Syria is "illegal" and is destined to fail, Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad predicted on Sunday, AFP reports.

"It will be harmful and illegal and it will support terrorism as happened after the coalition started its operation a year or so (ago)," the Syrian president was quoted as having told The Sunday Times after British MPs voted on December 2 to join the bombing campaign over Syria.
