US airstrike 'IMMINENT' after fighter jets
spotted flying over Syria US fighter jets have allegedly been spotted
flying over Syria, prompting reports an airstrike could be imminent. Reports of an deadly show of force from US
President Donald Trump come after Syrian commentator Danny Makki tweeted that aircraft were spotted
over the country. He said: Heavy flight of US and coalition
aircraft over Syria Iraq border at present. Almost everyone I know in Damascus is up
and waiting for news on possible US strikes, you can cut the tension with a knife.
Pan-European air traffic control agency Eurocontrol
has since warned airlines to exercise caution in the eastern Mediterranean due to the possible
launch of air strikes into Syria in next 72 hours. It said: "Due consideration needs to be taken
when planning flight operations in the Eastern Mediterranean/Nicosia FIR area. The reported show of force by the US comes
just days after a devastating chemical attack killed and injured dozens of Syrians in the
city of Douma. Washington has accused Syrian tyrant Bashar
al-Assad of ordering the brutal slaughter on his own people.
But, both the dictator and his backers Russia
have denied playing any role in the massacre. Their denial did not stop US President Donald
Trump from vowing to take forceful action in response to the chemical attack. Russian supremo Vladimir Putin, however, warned
of serious consequences if the US launched airstrikes in Syria. The countrys foreign ministry said: It
is necessary to warn again that military intervention under invented and fabricated pretexts in
Syria, where at the request of the lawful government there are Russian military personnel,
is absolutely unacceptable and can lead to the most serious consequences..
