“French planes have carried out air strikes on Islamic State (Isis) targets in Iraq. Less than 24 hours after President François Hollande announced he had approved a request from the government in Baghdad for air support, at least two French Rafale planes attacked the insurgents’ positions. Hollande’s office said similar operations would continue in the coming days. The US is marshalling a coalition of almost 30 countries – western allies as well as countries in the Middle East – to confront the militant group. The US president, Barack Obama, previously praised Hollande’s decision to join the campaign against Isis, also called Isil.”
