Kerry: IS attacks will lead to its own demise
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday condemns Islamic State-linked attacks in Jakarta, saying the group is merely inviting “its own destruction.”
“There is nothing in any act of terror that offers anything but death,” Kerry tells journalists in London following a meeting with Saudi counterpart Adel al-Jubair.
The top diplomat stresses that terror attacks will not “intimidate nation-states from protecting their citizens and continuing to provide real opportunity, education, jobs, possibilities of a future,” and only strengthens resolve to defeat the group.
IS “have proven that they offer nothing, no alternative but their own destruction,” he says.
“If that’s the choice they leave us, we’re going to do what’s necessary,” he adds.
