“Besiegter” Islamischer Staat bereitet sein Comeback vor

By Mike Tyler

January 30, 2019 - Obwohl Präsident Donald Trump behauptet, dass der sogenannte Islamische Staat besiegt wäre, muss die militante Organisation noch
im Irak und Syrien besiegt werden und Tochtergruppen bleiben eine Gefahr rund um die Welt.

Even though IS has lost virtually all of its former territory, the group is thought capable of sustaining an insurgency in Iraq and Syria as well as sporadic terrorist attacks abroad for years.

Estimates of IS strength range from several thousand to 30,000 fighters. The organisation’s leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and several top deputies are believed to be still alive, according to Bloomberg News.
