Carter: US to boost anti-IS attacks in Iraq, Syria
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS Defense Secretary Ashton Carter says the United States will ramp up attacks on Islamic State jihadists in Syria and Iraq, with additional air strikes and even direct action on the ground.
Testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Carter says he expects more actions like the one last week that freed dozens of captives but left an American commando dead in Iraq.
“We won’t hold back from supporting capable partners in opportunistic attacks against ISIL, or conducting such missions directly, whether by strikes from the air or direct action on the ground,” Carter says.
