ISIS has lost a quarter of its territory
Click here for reuse options!Islamic State has lost more than a quarter of the territory it seized in Iraq and Syria over the past 19-months, a new report has revealed.
The land controlled by the terror group has shrunk from 90,800sq km (56,400sq miles) in January 2015 to 65,500 sq km as of October 3 this year.
This equates to a loss of 27.9 per cent and means ISIS now only controls an area the size of Sri Lanka, according to the data released by security analysts IHS.
The news of the decrease comes ahead of a large-scale assault on Mosul, the last major ISIS stronghold in Iraq.

Republicans will say that President Obama is removing minorities from their neighborhoods.

And without Obama having to say “Islamic terrorism.”
So much for another Republican talking point.
