WASHINGTON - U.S Defense Secretary Ashton Carter has said that Daesh will be defeated in Iraq and Syria, but it will not be enough as the militant group continues its activities in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, U.S President Barack Obama has said that terrorist organizations such as Daesh and Al-Qaeda are posing harm to Muslims rather than other people.
"It is necessary to defeat ISIL (Daesh) in Iraq and Syria, it is not sufficient since this cancer in some cases is in Afghanistan and Libya," said Carter.
Obama says that Daesh and Al-Qaeda network are the real enemies of Muslims.
"In-fact it is ISIL and Al-Qaeda and organizations like those that are waging war on Muslim communities even during the Holy Month (Ramazan) and discriminating against Muslim Americans is also an afront to all those values that are making our nation great, so on days like this and every day we need to be clear about what we stand for," said Obama.
The U.S officials renew their anti-Daesh struggle at a time that the group has once again expanded its activities in the eastern province of Nangarhar and continue to recruit in five districts in Kunar province.(Tolonews)
