Shortly after Russia launched airstrikes against militants in Syria, Iraq announces that it would also welcome any such military measures by Moscow on its soil.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi told France 24 television on Thursday that he had been receiving "massive information" from both Syria and Russia on the Daesh Takfiri militant group.
When asked if he had discussed with Russia airstrikes in his country, Abadi said, "Not yet," adding, "It is a possibility. If we get the offer we will consider it and I would welcome it."
