UK lawmakers expected to be recalled to vote on Iraq air strikes
MANCHESTER - Britain's parliament could be recalled as early as Friday to vote on a proposal by Prime Minister David Cameron for the country to join US-led air strikes against Islamic State in Iraq, a source familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.
The decision to strike in Iraq would be at Baghdad's request. Cameron is due to meet Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly later on Wednesday.
Sources in Cameron's office expect the Iraqi leader to request British air strikes against IS during the meeting and for Cameron to agree, paving the way for a parliamentary recall.
