Corbyn 'questions' legality of strike that killed Emwazi, in ITV News interview

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has indicated he believes the killing of Isis fighter Mohammed Emwazi may not have been legal under international law.

He told ITV News correspondent Chris Ship that he "questioned" whether the killing of Emwazi was legal.

"I'm awaiting an explanation of where the legal basis was for that incident," he said.

Mr Corybn also said he did not believe Prime Minister David Cameron would be able to secure a majority vote in parliament in support of air strikes on Syria and that there would be no free vote for Labour MPs on the issue.

"I have certainly not agreed to a free vote," he said.
