The Syrian foreign ministry called on Jordan, which is part of a US-led aerial campaign against Islamic State, "to cooperate in the fight against terrorism represented by the organisation Daesh and Nusra Front ... and other terrorist organisations associated with them in Syria and the region."
Daesh is a pejorative Arabic acronym for Islamic State and Nusra Front is al Qaeda's Syria wing. Both have seized land in Syria. The United States has said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad cannot be a partner in the fight against Islamic State.
