Turkish military operation will target Raqa: Erdogan

Only around 200 Spaniards are estimated to have gone abroad to fight for the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Thursday that the military operation supporting Syrian opposition fighters in northern Syria will target the IS-held city of Raqa. Erdogan said the rebels were now advancing on the important city of Al Bab to clear Islamic State group elements. After retaking the city, they will target Manbij, captured by Syrian Kurdish militia in August, and "then we will go towards Raqa".
