The White House and President Barack Obama

President Barack Obama: The U.S. and five Arab nations attacked the Islamic State groups headquarters in eastern Syria in nighttime raids Monday using land- and sea-based U.S. aircraft as well as Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from two Navy ships in the Red Sea and the northern Persian Gulf, according to 660 News. The White House said President Barack Obama would speak about the airstrikes before flying to New York on Tuesday morning for the United Nations General Assembly meeting and Combined U.S.-Arab airstrikes at the heart of the Islamic State groups military strongholds in Syria achieved their strategic aim of showing the extremists that their savage attacks will not go unanswered, the top American military officer said Tuesday. Separately, American warplanes also launched eight airstrikes to disrupt the imminent attack plotting against the United States and Western interests by a network of seasoned al-Qaida veterans, the U.S. military said.
