The al Qaeda-linked army is ready to make its Islamic state a launching pad for its next US attack and is invading territory in Iraq and Syria, says a new congressional report.
Four analysts at the Congressional Research Service cited intelligence reports and the words of the leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), Abu Nakr al-Baghdadi.
Al-Baghdadi threatened US that the US will not benefit from a proxy war in the Levant or Iraq and that they will be in warfare, reports Washington Times.
