WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. official says America and its Arab allies launched more than 200 airstrikes against roughly a dozen militant targets in Syria during the assault that began Monday night.
The military mission was the beginning of a broad international campaign against Islamic State militant strongholds in Syria. The U.S. simultaneously targeted the Khorasan Group, an al-Qaida cell, west of the Syrian city of Aleppo that was said to be plotting imminent attacks on American and Western interests.
