EXPRESS: A SAUDI official has blasted Russia's bid to wipe out the Islamic State terror group branding it "very dangerous".
The Middle East nation's foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir said Moscow's bombing campaign was fuelling the Syria crisis rather than helping to end it.
He said: "We believe that the Russian interference in Syria is very dangerous because it exacerbates the conflict."
He also claimed the country's war can only be ended if President Bashar al-Assad – a long-time ally of Vladimir Putin – is overthrown.
Jubeir described Assad as the magnet that "attracted foreign fighters from all over the world" to fight for ISIS against his regime. » | Tom Parfitt | Friday, October 23, 2015
