LONDON:
Prime Minister David Cameron failed to get approval from British lawmakers in 2013 for military action in Syria, though Britain conducts regular attacks in neighbouring Iraq.
"The UK itself is not conducting air strikes in Syria," a spokesman said. "But we do have a long-standing embed programme with allies, where small numbers of UK personnel act under the command of host nations. That has been the case in Syria."
