Intelligence services work to coordinate strikes on Isis stronghold of Raqqa as countries plan unified response after Paris terror attacks
Russian and US forces have for the first time exchanged military information during airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Syria amid early signs of thawing relations between the two countries following the Paris terror attacks and the downing of a Russian airliner.
The contacts came after Russia’s intelligence service, the FSB, confirmed that a bomb had brought down the Russian passenger plane over Egypt last month, as had been previously been claimed by Isis.
Early on Tuesday, France and Russia launched a series of punishing attacks in Syria that included the first use by Moscow of long-range bombers in its campaign.
