taliban. so isis k was formed in 2014. many of its top ranking members were actually disaffected members of both the afghan taliban and also the pakistani taliban. these are guys who think that the core taliban that now rules afghanistan which to cuddly for their liking. the distinction here is that the taliban is seeking and has always been seeking to establish an emirates, they want to control the nation-state of afghanistan. isis s mission is more messy and, deeply ideological, in fact. they look to establish the so-called caliphate, and they will not stop, since repeatedly, when the u.s. led coalition went into iraq they want to see the black flag flowing over the capitals of rome, london, washington d.c.. isis is a transnational terror organization. and isis-k, which essentially became a franchise of the core isis that grew up in the 11th
coalition went into syria and iraq, that they want to see the black flag flying over the capitals of rome, london, washington, d.c. so, you know, isis is a transnational terror organization. and isis-k, which essentially just became a franchise of the core isis that grew up in the levant and mesopotamia, shares the same theocratic ideology. it s true that isis-k and the taliban have been at war with each other for several years, ferociously, in some cases. there have been instances were the u.s. air force seeing both of them on the ground basically bombed isis-k knowing the taliban would overtake them on the ground. the problem is, and you can talk to any expert on afghanistan longer than i have, as you mentioned, because the isis-k fighters come from the former ranks of the taliban, they share
dismantle the u.s. advisory mission and then this morning it appears the turkish invasion. the kurds will go to fight at those front lines. the potential for blood shed and instability is enormous. just one more thing, joe and mika. there are papproximately 2,500 foreign fighters who have been held in camps protected by syrian/kurdish fighters, these are the hardest of the hard core isis. of them there are perhaps a thousand europeans ready to stream back into europe and begin new terrorist operation there s. who s going to guard these camps? the white house announcement last night, incredibly said they would be guarded by the arriving turkish invading forces. we should all recall that turkey was the country that allowed these fighters to get into syria in the first place. it s a series of catastrophic events. mika, if you tie everything
it in any way or do anything to skew the results. what we do know as you said in the intro, there were 12 american soldiers with a group of military from niger and they were conducting a patrol and they were ambushed by somewhere between 40 and 50 militants. i suspect what senator graham was talking about in that sound bite was the fact that the latest intelligence is pointing to a newer group called isis gs, when is isis in the greater sa hall and an afillant not recognized by core isis. but the leader bagdadi, but it has been acknowledged. they are not necessarily an official affiliate but they are trying to become one. so of course what senator graham was talking about there is the spread of terror into africa. but this is a problem for some time. we ve seen the french operating in mali for several years and
town, you could be on an interstate in two or three minutes and be out of here which really is puzzling. the fact that they were called supporters, not fighters. so they re not really what we call core isis. our tom foreman mapped it out and they could have been in mexico in two hours or so. absolutely. art. to you, the two smashed cell phones behind the trash bin. other electronics recovered from the home, those could offer a wealth of information. how soon can authorities get to that information? i mean, i think, obviously, some of those were damaged. we ve heard that they tried to destroy them. it should take the fbi not that long to figure out if they re able to even get information off. if they re able to get it off, it might take a little while with the software packages that they have to extract the information. but the fact that they had all these different cell phones, that s a criminal technique that s used, where they buy
