Chris Ryan: Send in Special Forces to deal with Islamic State

Chris Ryan, the former SAS sergeant, said he "absolutely" supports air strikes and air-forces in Syria.

His comments come after the announcement that ministers will start to make a case for British military action in Syria next week, with Downing Street keen to take what it calls the "next step" against so-called Islamic State.

Ryan said the Special Forces should work independently of a large military force to "inflict more damage" and said air strikes need to continue and they "need to increase".

He said we need to use "highly trained troops in small numbers" to "easily dominate" so-called Islamic State.
