'This is set to get worse': Saudi Arabia says it has made a 'final' decision to send troops into...

Saudi Arabia has made a "final" decision to send ground troops into Syria to fight ISIS, the spokesman of the Saudi-led coalition force in Yemen told reporters on Thursday.

Brig. Gen. Ahmed Al-Assiri said that Riyadh was "ready" to join the US-led anti-Islamic State coalition in Syria, according to Saudi news agency Al Arabiya. He noted, however, that the coalition — which has largely targeted the militants with airstrikes — has not given its final approval on the Saudis' decision to send ground troops.

ISIS also goes by the names the Islamic State and Daesh.

"We are representing Saudi's [decision] only" in sending troops, Assiri said
