We're Taking the Fight to Islamic State, Says Carter

At a press briefing on Wednesday, September 30, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter said, with a coalition of over 60 nations, “We’re taking the fight to ISIL across the physical, virtual and ideological battlespace.”

“The coalition has conducted over 7,100 airstrikes hammering ISIL’s movement and operations, and systematically targetting this terrorists group’s leadership,” said the secretary.

“The coalition will continue to fly missions over Iraq and Syria as planned, as we did today, as part of the international mission to degrade and destroy ISIL,” he said. Credit: DVIDS
