2015/01/20 – Waar, Duhok: – A US official believes that ground troops are needed to destroy Islamic State (IS) group in Iraq and Syria. Senator John McCain, currently touring the Middle East, in a press conference in Jerusalem said that IS had managed to continue its advances despite coalition airstrikes. Therefore, he said, the coalition needed ground forces to fight IS in coordination with Iraqi and Syrian governments. He said a no-fly zone had to be set up in order to ease delivering aid to refugees and training Syrian rebel groups.
