According to him, the jihadists, who for several years controlled parts of Syria and Iraq, and now – a small Syrian territory, and will use any relaxation of counter-terrorism pressure to “be reborn”.
“While ISIS is close to a territorial defeat in Iraq and Syria, the group returned to guerrilla war, continuing to plan attacks and to control his supporters around the world,” said Coates.
