The Russian president Vladimir Putin has strongly defended his country's military operations in Syria, saying the aim is to stabilize what he called the legitimate authorities there and to create the conditions for a political compromise. He said that without Russian support for president Bashar al-Assad, there was a danger that terrorists, as he described them, would take over Syria. Sarah Rainsford is in Moscow. Mr. Putin insisted that Russia was a peace-loving nation but it was in typical forceful form. He says the barrage of brand-new cruise missiles fired at Syria last week showed the world what high-tech modern weapons Russia has and that it's ready to use them to protect its interests. As for warnings that he's only increased the risk of a terror attack here, Vladimir Putin argued that it's better to target Russians fighting with IS in Syria and let them to gobble up that country as he put it, then bring their jihad back home.

The Iraqi military says its air force killed several senior members of the Islamist State group in an airstrike in the west of the country on Saturday.

The first statement from an intelligence unit in the Iraqi Interior Ministry said that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was the target of the attack. Instead he was taken away from the scene and his condition was unknown. But various sources now suggest the IS leader was not there at all. This is not the first time that such reports have surfaced about the elusive al-Baghdadi. But witnesses on the ground say that an airstrike did hit an IS meeting and the group has taken casualties.
