US: IS clout fell sharply

Terror Group IS condition, according to US intelligence 'significantly' worse than a year ago.

A spokesman for the US government spoke of significant losses . The decline would have several causes: loss of life in clashes and bombings, but IS would have to deal with deserters. Furthermore, it has become increasingly difficult to come in from outside Syria or Iraq, put the Americans.

However, the report does not address the growth of IS in Libya. The North African country is building the organization to a second branch of the caliphate . How many fighters IS there has been a big question mark. In Washington, the estimates range from approximately 3 000 to double.
