Prime Minister David Cameron makes the claim after he and President Barack Obama wrote joint op-ed saying they “will not be cowed” in fight against ISIS.
British Prime Minister David Cameron has said that the U.K. could launch air strikes against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in Syria, without the support of the government of Bashar al-Assad, The Guardian reported.
Cameron opened a legal path for military action against ISIS in the country by claiming Assad's government was illegitimate.
He said that western nations would not necessarily require an invitation from the regime to launch air strikes within the country's borders in order to satisfy international law.

In an interview with the BBC this morning, Prime Minister Cameron said he would not "rule anything out" when it came to the U.K. taking military action against ISIS:
He said that the U.K. would not pay a ransom to free the 44-year-old hostage, whose relatives have asked the media not to name him.
Yesterday, British foreign secretary Phillip Hammond said that the U.K. would explore "every possible option" to help the hostage, and said that an unsuccessful attempt had already been made to rescue him.
