(Worthy News) – President Barack Obama said the United States military and allied forces are hitting the Islamic State group harder than ever and threatened the group’s leaders, after he opened a rare meeting of his National Security Council at the Pentagon on Monday.
The meeting outside the White House is part of a public relations drive to ease Americans’ worries about domestic terrorism ahead of the holidays.
Obama said the group has already lost 40% of the territory it once held. The president also said the US strategy of hunting down leaders, training forces and stopping the group’s financing and propaganda is progressing. [ Source ]
