MOSCOW/BEIRUT (Reuters) –
Russia bombed Syria for a third day on Friday, mainly hitting areas held
by rival insurgent groups rather than the Islamic State fighters it
said it was targeting.
Washington, which is leading its own air campaign against
Islamic State, says Moscow has been using its campaign as a pretext to
hit other groups opposed to Russia’s ally, President Bashar al-Assad.
Some of the groups that have been hit are supported by
countries which oppose both Assad and Islamic State, including at least
one group that received training from the CIA.
Moscow said on Friday its latest strikes had hit 12
Islamic State targets, but most of the areas it described were in parts
of the country where the militant group has little or no sway.
