WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — US Department of State spokesperson John Kirby said in a press briefing on Monday that the government of President Bashar Assad will be able to continue hitting positions of the Jabhat Fatah Al Sham terrorist group, previously known as the Nusra Front, under the new US-Russia ceasefire deal for Syria.
"We are not ruling out Assad would be able to strike al-Nusra," Kirby stated. "There is really no grounds and frankly little purpose in trying to completely limit the Assad regime from hitting al-Nusra."
