British PM wants UK airstrikes against IS in Syria in two weeks (media)

British Prime Minister David Cameron is pushing for parliamentary backing for air strikes against the Islamic State (IS) in Syria, and British lawmakers are expected to vote on the matter within the next two weeks, British Sky News reported Saturday.

The first British strikes in Syria would happen within hours of a "yes" vote, according to the Sunday Times newspaper.

Cameron is preparing a seven-point plan for British military intervention in Syria, the newspaper quoted Downing Street sources as saying.

On Friday, Cameron welcomed the unanimous adoption of the UN Security Council Resolution on defeating IS, also known as ISIL or ISIS.

In a statement, he said: "I will continue to make the case for us to do more and to build support in Parliament for the action that I believe is necessary for Britain to take to protect our own security, as part of a determined international strategy."

"We cannot expect others to shoulder the burdens and the risks of protecting this country," he added.

    Dans les jours qui viennent, le parlement britannique examinera une demande visant à autoriser des frappes aériennes en Syrie, a déclaré le premier ministre David Cameron.

    Le premier ministre britannique David Cameron s'adressera au parlement afin d'obtenir l'autorisation de frapper le groupe terroriste Etat islamique (EI) en Syrie dans les jours qui viennent, annonce The Telegraph.

    "Dans les jours qui viennent, je m'adresserai au comité international (de la chambre des communes du parlement britannique) afin de demander que la Grande-Bretagne se joigne à nos alliés internationaux dans la lutte contre l'EI en Syrie, et pas seulement en Irak. Nous ne pouvons pas reléguer le fardeau de la protection de notre pays sur les autres. Ces actions seront un élément clé d'une stratégie durable et universelle de lutte contre l'EI, en plus des efforts internationaux visant à faire cesser la guerre en Syrie", lit-on dans un article paru la veille de la visite de Cameron à Paris et de la publication par le gouvernement britannique de la nouvelle stratégie de sécurité.............http://sptnkne.ws/agk4
