Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton says she expects President Barack Obama to announce “an intensification” of the US strategy against Islamic State militants following last week’s attack in California.
Clinton tells ABC’s This Week: ”We have to have a much more robust air campaign against ISIS targets, against oil infrastructure, against leadership. And I think that’s what you’ll hear from the president.”
The former secretary of state says she also would require the online community to keep militants from communicating on social network sites. She says sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube “cannot permit the recruitment and the actual direction of attacks or the celebration of violence” by Islamic militants.
Authorities say a married couple was responsible for the attack in California, and the woman had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group on Facebook as they went on their rampage.
The White House says Obama will provide an update on Wednesday’s shootings in San Bernardino and will discuss the broader threat of terrorism, including how it has evolved and how he plans to defeat it.
