UN report blames Islamic State for most attacks in Iraq and Syria

International terrorist groups carried out more attacks in Iraq and Syria in the past six months of 2018 than in any other country, and Islamic State extremists were primarily to blame, according to a United Nations report.

The report to the Security Council said the Islamic State and its affiliates “continue to pose the main and bestresourced international terrorist threat, while al-Qaida remains resilient and active in many regions.”
