IN THE FRENCH PAPERS - Le Figaro: Is it really possible to 'destroy' the Islamic State organisation?

2014-09-15 29

"The war on Islamic State" headlines Libération, reporting on this Monday's Paris conference on Iraq's security. Le Figaro, meanwhile, asks whether it is really possible to destroy the organisation. It points out that although massively outnumbered by the Iraqi army and peshmerga forces, it is highly motivated and could gain from support in Sunni communities. And, Le Parisien-Aujourd'hui-en-France reports that 360 French nationals are currently actively fighting on the ground in Iraq and Syria.
