"Komuniti
perisikan kami belum lagi dpt kesan plot Isil tertentu terhadap Amerika. Tetapi

Obama mengingatkan
orang ramai daripada usaha sengit baru-baru ini untuk pertempuran Negara Islam,
dengan matlamat akhir memusnahkan kumpulan.
"Sebab
itu, bulan lepas, saya telah memberikan perintah untuk tentera kita untuk mula
mengambil tindakan terhadap Isil disasarkan. Sejak itu, juruterbang berani dan
krew kami telah menjalankan lebih daripada 170 serangan udara terhadap
pengganas ini, "katanya.
"Melangkah
ke hadapan, seperti yang saya telah mengumumkan awal bulan ini, kami akan
merendahkan dan akhirnya memusnahkan Isil melalui strategi antik-eganasan yang
menyeluruh dan berterusan. Sama ada di Iraq atau Syria, peng-ganas akan belajar
apa yang pemimpin-pemimpin al-Qaeda sudah tahu: bererti Kami apa yangg kita
katakan, rangkaian kita adalah panjang, dan jika anda mengancam Amerika anda
akan mendapati tiada tempat yang selamat, "Obama menegaskan.
NO Data on ISIS plots against US – OBAMA . . .
US
intelligence failed to find any specific Islamic State plots against America,
President Barack Obama said in an opinion piece. Despite the lack of direct
threats, Obama promised not to leave the group unchecked, vowing to ultimately
destroy it.
“Our
intelligence community has not yet detected specific ISIL plots against
America. But its leaders have repeatedly threatened America and our allies, and
if left unchecked, they could pose a growing threat to the United States,”
Obama wrote in the Tampa Bay Times on Sunday.
The
US president's comments follow the emergence of new intelligence warning that
Washington’s upcoming confrontation with the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) may
leave it blind to a more sinister and direct threat from a much lesser known
terrorist group – Khorasan.
Obama reminded the
public of his recent fierce efforts to battle the Islamic State, with the final
goal of destroying the group.
“That
is why, last month, I gave the order for our military to begin taking targeted
action against ISIL. Since then, our brave pilots and crews have conducted more
than 170 airstrikes against these terrorists,” he said.
“Going
forward, as I announced earlier this month, we will degrade and ultimately
destroy ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy.
Whether in Iraq or in Syria, these terrorists will learn what the leaders of
al-Qaida already know: We mean what we say, our reach is long, and if you
threaten America you will find no safe haven,” Obama stressed.

Beliau juga
menegaskan bahawa tentera Amerika Syarikat hanya akan menyokong tentera
Iraq, yang akan berjuang perjuangan mereka sendiri.
Obama
juga memberi tumpuan kepada penglibatan antarabangsa keseluruhan dalam
memerangi Negara Islam. "Ini bukan & tdk akan melawan Amerika
semata-mata. Itulah sebabnya kita terus membina sebuah gabungan antarabangsa
yang luas.
Perancis
dan UK terbang bersama kami atas Iraq, yang lain telah melakukan untuk
menyertai usaha ini, dan Perancis tlh menyertai kami dlm menjalankan
serangan terhadap Isil di Iraq. Secara keseluruhannya, lebih daripada 40 buah
negara - termasuk negara-negara Arab - telah menawarkan bantuan sebagai sebahagian
daripada gabungan ini".

Sementara
itu, pejuang Negara Islam telah membuat cara mereka ke Jordan, kerana ia telah
mendedahkan bahawa 11 Golongan Negara Islam telah ditangkap di negara ini, dan
telah mengaku merancang serangan pengganas, AFP memetik seorang pegawai
keselamatan sebagai berkata pada hari Ahad.
Individu-individu
yang ditahan "mengakui hubungan mereka kepada kepimpinan organisasi Daesh
di Syria dan mereka didakwa menjalankan operasi pengganas di Jordan mensasarkan
beberapa kepentingan utama," kata pegawai itu, dengan menggunakan singkatan
Bahasa Arab IS ini.
Berita
mengenai penangkapan datang selepas Setiausaha Negara Amerika Syarikat John
Kerry melawat Jordan pada 10 September untuk membincangkan pemben-tukan pakatan Amerika
Syarikat-Arab terhadap Negara Islam dgn Raja Abdullah.
Dalam pertemuan itu,
Kerry dan Abdullah membincangkan pilihan untuk mewujudkan asas gabungan di
Jordan.
He further
underscored that US forces will only support Iraqi soldiers, who will be
fighting their own fight.
Obama
also focused on overall international involvement in the fight against the
Islamic State. “This is not and will not be America's fight alone. That's why
we continue to build a broad international coalition.
France and the UK are
flying with us over Iraq, others have committed to join this effort, and France
has joined us in conducting strikes against ISIL in Iraq. Overall, more than 40
countries – including Arab nations – have offered assistance as part of this
coalition.”
Meanwhile,
Islamic State fighters have made their way to Jordan, as it was revealed that
11 Islamic State jihadists were arrested in the country, and have confessed to
planning terrorists attacks, AFP cited a security official as saying on Sunday.
The
detained individuals “admitted their links to the leadership of the Daesh
organization in Syria and that they were charged with carrying out terrorist
operations in Jordan targeting a number of vital interests,” the official said,
using IS's Arabic acronym.
News
of the arrests comes after US Secretary of State John Kerry visited Jordan on
September 10 to discuss the creation of US-Arab coalition against the Islamic
State with King Abdullah.
During the meeting,
Kerry and Abdullah discussed the option of establishing the coalition’s base in
Jordan.
