(FNA)- Representatives from the US and Western intelligence services have held a series of meetings with field leaders of the Daesh (also known as ISIL or ISIS) Takfiri terrorist group and agreed on launching terrorist attacks in war-ravaged Syria, according to an informed media source.

The source added field leaders of Daesh and other terrorist groups participated in those meetings, discussing such issues as “intensifying attacks on Syrian government forces and Russian military bases in Syria”, and what it claimed as armed groups loyal to Iran.

"Christian churches, mosques and places of worship for different sects have been included in the list of targets," Sputnik news agency quoted the media source as saying.

"Within the framework of the agreements reached on coordinating actions, terrorist groups should be provided with funding, technologies, ammunition and modern weapons systems," according to the report.

The source stated that Daesh terrorists, who are being transferred from Iraq and released from prisons and temporary detention camps in the Kurdish-controlled areas in the West of the Euphrates River, are “undergoing special training under the supervision of American forces and will be used to launch raids” against the specified targets.

“The sleeper cells of Takfiri terrorist outfits will also be used to that end in Southern and Southwestern Syria as well as in major cities in the Center of the country," the source noted.
