Canada launched its first air strikes against the Islamic State in Iraq as at least 300 people from the Albu Nimr tribe in Iraq were executed by Islamic State militants over the weekend.
The Canadian airstrikes have been carried out in secret with the Canadian military denying media access.
Canada’s defence minister told press that further details of Canada’s airstrike agenda would be released on Tuesday.
Canada’s airstrikes come as US backed militants in Syria lost ground to the Al-Nusra fighters, who reportedly captured US weaponry in their advances.
