Russia says it will continue combating Al-Nusra Front in Syria

MOSCOW, July 29 (KUNA) -- Russia said on Friday that it would continue cooperating with the international community to combat Al-Nusra Front in Syria.
Russia's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the front will remain a "terrorist group" as it resorts to violence whether it changes its name or not.
Moscow will continue military operations until defeating the front, it added.
Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani, the head of the front, said on Thursday his group broke ties with Al-Qaeda and changed its name to Jabhat Fath Al-Sham. (end) as.hm
