Russia says Syria 'opposition' guided warplanes to bombing targets

Moscow (AFP) - Russian jets bombed 24 targets in Syria Tuesday using coordinates supplied by "opposition representatives" -- the first time Moscow has claimed to work with opposition groups since the start of its air offensive.

"The coordinates of all of these targets were given to us by opposition representatives," senior military official Andrei Kartapolov said, without specifying which groups Moscow had cooperated with.

Kartapolov said Moscow's jets hit targets close to Palmyra, Deir Ezzor, Ithriya and eastern Aleppo with assistance from the opposition, destroying "terrorist" command posts, munition stores and anti-aircraft artillery.

Moscow has been bombing targets in Syria since September 30, when it launched an offensive in support of forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad against Islamic State jihadists and other "terrorist" groups.

"Our aim both in Syria and anywhere else is to fight terrorism first of all," Putin said in Moscow on Tuesday.

Deputy foreign minister Mikhail Bogdanov said the contact with the opposition groups was "useful", both in terms of "fighting terrorism and promoting the political process," speaking to Interfax news agency.

"Our aim both in Syria and anywhere else is to fight terrorism first of all," Putin said in Moscow on Tuesday.

This is BS. If Putin was serious, he would have bombed the White House by now.
