Angry Muslims Who Tried To Attack Christians Get Sent Straight To Allah This week, Daily Mail reported that footage had surfaced showing Russian troops engaging in a battle on the ground in Syria with ISIS for the first time. The footage was reportedly broadcast on the state-owned TV channel Rossiya 2, showing special forces assassinating rebels, carrying out sniper attacks and employing robot tanks. Russias soldiers can be seen taking part in search and rescue missions and also coordinating air strikes. Some footage even managed to capture soldiers shooting targets at close range. In March, Russia admitted they had sent special forces to Syria after the recapture of the city of Palmyra from ISIS. At the time, they gave no indication of the number of soldiers they had deployed or where they were located. On Sunday, ISIS recaptured Palmyra despite Russias numerous air strikes. One day later, foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini confirmed the EU has no plans to impose sanctions on Russia over the conflict in Syria.
