Islamic State Expands in Europe, Mideast, North Africa, Asia
(Washington Times) Bill Gertz - The Islamic State is expanding to seven emerging areas of Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Asia, according to a State Department security report by the Overseas Security Advisory Council. The seven new theaters of operation are Turkey, Tunisia, Lebanon, France, Belgium, Bangladesh and the Philippines. While the Islamic State is active in other locations as well, these seven locations "represent areas where there is expected to be a continued interest in operating, support networks to do so, and a likelihood for more than a one-off attack," the report states.
