Canada to extend anti-IS mission, strike targets in Syria
None
Canada's prime minister will announce a one-year extension of its military mission against the Islamic State group and expand it to include air strikes on targets in Syria, a senior government official said Monday.
The official said Prime Minister Stephen Harper will announce the extension when he presents a bill to Parliament on Tuesday morning.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. Harper had said he'll provide details about extending and expanding the mission this week. It's due to expire in April.
