US to Make ‘Huge Dent’ in Daesh in 2016 - Kerry
15:08 GMT 25.03.2016 (Updated: 10:51 GMT 06.08.2022) The United States intends to significantly deteriorate the capabilities of Daesh throughout 2016, US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — However, Kerry noted that reducing the impact of Daesh ideology will take "a number of years."
"I think that we are going to put a huge dent in them in the course of this year — there’s no question in my mind," Kerry said in an interview with CNN.
"Even though we destroyed the core of al-Qaeda, and we did, al-Qaeda dispersed," Kerry pointed out. "There are al-Qaeda operatives out there who continue to represent a threat, but they don’t represent a complete shredding of the fabric of your life."
On Friday, a senior US official confirmed that the US military has eliminated a senior Daesh leader in Syria, who was second in command in the terrorist organization.
