British PM David Cameron has said he will personally "build the case" for military intervention in Syria, reports the Telegraph.


The PM has said it was his "firm conviction" that Britain needed to tackle ISIS in the country. He had earlier rowed back on plans to ask MPs to vote on military action, fearing that he would not command enough support.


But today he signalled in the strongest possible way that he will go for a Parliament vote.


"I've always said there is a strong case for us doing so. We should not let others carry the burden and the risks of protecting our country," Cameron said.


He said he "recognises the concerns" of MPs but added, "My firm conviction is that we need to act against ISIS in Syria. Together we will prevail."
