Daily Mail: Putin signs decree drafting 150,000 conscripts into the Russian military... as his fighter jets launch new wave of air strikes in Syria

* Muslim Chechen leader wants 'opportunity' to fight terror group in Syria
* Russia blitzed dozens of targets in Syria - but U.S. says none held by ISIS
* Moscow foreign minister Lavrov rejected the 'rumours' as 'unfounded'
* U.S. was only given hour notice of strikes which killed at least 36 civilians
* Russia and the U.S. agree to hold urgent talks to avoid clashes in Syria

Vladimir Putin has signed a decree drafting nearly 150,000 conscripts into the Russian military as Moscow's warplanes unleashed a new wave of airstrikes in Syria.

The timing of the move – on the very day Russia entered the Syrian conflict yesterday – will raise suspicions the Russian President is planning a wider offensive to prop up his Syrian counterpart.

It also comes after one of Putin's staunchest allies called on him to send in Muslim ground troops to defeat the Islamic State and other Islamist extremist groups.
