Welcoming British military strikes in Syria the Nato secretary general said that an air campaign alone would not be enough to defeat the group calling itself Islamic State.

In his first British interview since David Cameron secured MPs approval for air strikes, Jens Stoltenberg ruled out Nato ground forces taking part in the conflict.
