THE Syrian terror group Jabhat al-Nusra has denounced US air strikes against Isil as "a war against Islam" and vowed to take revenge against the coalition of countries supporting military action in the region.
He said: "These states have committed a horrible act that is going to put them on the list of jihadist targets throughout the world.
"This is not a war against al-Nusra, but a war against Islam."
Led by the US, a coalition of about 40 countries, including Arab states, is taking steps to destroy the radical Islamist group Isil, which controls vast swathes of north-eastern Syria and northern Iraq. Though al-Nusra is an affiliate group of Isil, it is not officially a target of the air strikes. US jets have attacked a new group called Khorasan, which some analysts believe is part of Jabhat al-Nusra.
