US assures IS group to be defeated in Afghanistan

United States Secretary of Defense says that the Islamic State (IS) group core and its branches will be defeated in the nearest time.

US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter said, “We need to defeat the Islamic State or the Daesh group. I am completely sure that we will defeat them.”

Meanwhile, US department of state notes that the purpose of US mission on training, advising and assisting Afghan forces is to gain victory against the insurgents group which seek to find their havens in Afghanistan.

“Currently, we are working with Afghan security forces in order to improve the overall usability and capabilities of them in war. We train them to fight against every terrorist groups,” said Mark Toner.

The former head of US intelligence agency has also stated that IS threat must be taken seriously; urging the US, Russia and the entire international community have to stand together against what he described as a “vicious enemy, getting worse by the day.”

Gen. Michael Flynn, who led the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) between 2012 and 2014 and commanded US Special Forces in Afghanistan and Iraq before that, believes there is a direct link between migrant crisis and the Brussels and Paris terror attacks.

“The United State, Europe and Russia should jointly work, share information and set aside their political differences to defeat the IS or Daesh group,” said Gen. Michael Flynn, ex-chairman of US spy agency.

The US and Russia need to talk directly, behind closed doors, and work out a way to bring their national security strategies together in the fight against a common enemy, as they have done in the past.
