US airmen making final checks on B-1 bomber prior to Syria strikes

US B-1 bomber prior to Syria strikes

The US Department of Defense has released video showing US Air Force maintenance Airmen and aircrews conducting final checks on a B-1 bomber at an undisclosed location before launching to strike targets in Syria.

The United States, France, and Britain launched more than 100 missiles overnight against targets in Damascus' Barzeh district and two locations near Homs.

Sources at the Syrian Foreign Ministry told local media that Qatar had allowed warplanes to take off from the US military's al-Udeid airbase in the Persian Gulf emirate to launch attacks on Syrian territory.

Syria's Foreign Ministry strongly condemned Saturday's strikes as a "brutal, barbaric aggression," saying they would only ignite "tensions in the world and pose a threat to international peace and security."
