Munich, Germany,--The United Arab Emirates is likely to resume air missions as part of the US-led coalition fighting the Islamic State group in the coming days, a senior US official said Friday after top American diplomat John Kerry met with Gulf ministers.

The UAE had suspended flights after the brutal murder of a Jordanian pilot by the jihadists, but "there was a considerable outrage around the table about what had happened to the pilot" and the UAE told Kerry that they "would resume (flights) in a couple of days," the official told reporters in Munich.
