Italian Foreign Minister Says Italy Considers US request to Use Base in Strikes Against Da'esh.

Pulbished on:
Rome, 3 August 2016(Lana) Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentelone on Tuesday said his country was considering a request by the US which is leading an international coalition against the State Organisation Da'esh to use the base of Sigonella in Sicily to launch air strikes against the organisation positions in Sirte. In a statement to the Italian news agency Gentelone said what Italians needed to know was that the air strikes that the US carried out yesterday were against Da'esh in Sirte. The GNA government has achieved a number of goals and paid dearly for that, he added. The Italian agency said Italy was among the first countries who welcomed the US raids on Da'esh in Sirte. The Head GNA Council Fayez Al Saraj announced in a televised statement the start of US assault on positions kept by the Da'esh organisation in and around the city of Sirte at the request of the Consensus Government in Libya. =Lana=
