Jordan launches new airstrikes after vowing harsh war on IS

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) - Jordanian fighter jets have carried out new air strikes, the military said today, a day after the country's king vowed to wage a "harsh" war against Islamic State militants who control parts of neighboring Syria and Iraq. The army statement did not say which country was targeted. Jordan is part of a U.S.-led military coalition that has bombed IS targets in both countries since last fall, but until now Jordanian warplanes are only known to have carried out raids in Syria.
