in those regards, yes, very important, but the group still holds around 4,000 square miles of territory. wow. almost the size of connecticut. that s not a small amount. still after the battles. the towns in iraq, parts of provinces, so they still hold land. in addition to that, we know they have a presence in libya, in afghanistan, in yemen, the philippines, in west africa, just a couple days ago, isis telegram channel put out a video by a jihadist group never heard of, where they are allegedly in the congo in africa, and asking isis supporters to come join them there in the jungle. in the con ga? yes. we have no way to determine whether it s real, but that gives you a sense of territory possibilities. remarkable notes of caution and importance there.
