The UK is "letting down" its allies by failing to launch air strikes against terrorist group Islamic State in Syria, says Britain's top military commander.
General Sir Nicholas Houghton, the chief of the defence staff, criticised the UK policy of restricting RAF air strikes to neighbouring Iraq.
He said that the decision "makes no sense" when IS, also known as Isil, has its stronghold in Syria.
In 2013, MPs rejected possible UK military action in Syria.
