IRAQ

A case in Indiana shows how local groups can go against the wishes of governors who do not want to resettle Syrian refugees.

Syrian rebel groups fighting President Bashar Assad have become increasingly fractious in the four years since the armed conflict began.

"The Islamic State has seen success beyond the dreams of other terrorist groups that now appear conventional and even old-fashioned, such as Al-Qaeda,” a recent report says.

The Afghan refugees were reportedly trying to reach the island of Chios from the resort of Cesme, despite bad weather.

As "brutal and extended" conflicts across the globe continue to take their toll, over 87 million people across 37 countries are in urgent need of aid, the United Nations said.

Amnesty International said in a new report that the Islamic State group uses arms mainly seized from Iraqi military stocks, and has benefited from a poorly policed arms trade.

Some believe the terror attack suspect may have fled to Syria, but European authorities have not yet confirmed the reports.

The Islamic State group is reportedly suffering from airstrikes against its oil infrastructure.

In the wake of recent ISIS attacks that have killed more than 500 people around the world, the Department of Homeland Security will announce a new threat warning system in the next few days.

As the U.S. has stepped up an airstrike campaign against the Islamic State group in Syria, the Dalai Lama says dialogue is the only way forward.

The 24-page document, obtained by the Guardian, demonstrates that the Islamic State group has set out to build a viable state in the territory it holds in Iraq and Syria.

If the airstrike is confirmed, it would be the first to hit Syrian government forces since the coalition began its bombing campaign last year.

U.S. President Barack Obama said Sunday that Muslim communities should be seen as “our strongest allies,” instead of being shunned through suspicion and hate.

NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg, speaking to a Swiss newspaper, stressed that the conflict was not a war between the West and the Islamic world.

Iraq warned it would appeal to the United Nations to force Ankara to pull out its forces from the northern part of the country.

In his latest speech, the president continued using his administration's term for the terror group.

President Obama explained the threat posed to by ISIS terrorists, and his strategy for defeating them.

The president began airstrikes in Iraq and Syria against ISIS last year and asked for war authorization in February, but Congress has refused to vote.

In a rare speech from the Oval Office, President Barack Obama laid out his plan to defeat terrorism.

“Prisons are the breeding ground for radicalization,” said Mohammed Chirani, a community organizer in Paris.

Three professors at Malik's university said they had been advised not to talk to the media while men claiming to be from Pakistan's security agencies told reporters to drop their investigations.
