UK to extend operations against IS, says Michael Fallon

The UK is to extend the duration of its air operations against the so called Islamic State by an extra year, until March 2017, the British Defence Secretary has said during his visit to Iraq.

In an interview with the BBC, Michael Fallon said by the end of this month the UK will send extra military advisors to Iraq to help train more army troops.

But he ruled out the possibility of western ground troops being committed to the fight.
