No-fly zone in Aleppo would protect Al-Nusra – former Italian FM to RT

(10.10.2016) “Let’s not talk simply about the ‘no-fly zone,’” Frattini said. “I know very well the story of the no-fly zone in Libya. But now a no-fly zone in an area Al-Nusra [controls], will be protecting an Al-Qaeda-affiliated group.”

Despite claims to the contrary from Washington, “it is possible to separate Al-Nusra from moderate rebels because al-Nusra occupy some well-determined areas of eastern Aleppo” and modern military technologies “allow [us] to target particularly small areas where terrorists are without hitting innocent civilians,” Frattini said.
