Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton admitted that she could not have predicted the effectiveness of the al-Qaida-affiliated terrorist group that seized control this week of two major Iraqi cities.
The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), which has pledged allegiance to al-Qaida since 2004, captured the western Iraqi cities of Tikrit and Mosul, expanding its influence across the entire Sunni-dominated western region of Iraq in addition to Syria where it remains one of the strongest rebel factions fighting dictator Bashar al-Assad. The group, led by enigmatic terrorist Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, evolved out of al-Qaidas Bush-era presence in Iraq, adopting a version of its current name as early as 2006.
