Islamic State has been dealt a massive blow after losing swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria, but the group remains as dangerous as ever as it evolves and makes inroads elsewhere. The embattled group is not only establishing strongholds in other countries but remains a radicalising presence online as militants continue to encourage homegrown attacks, a new report has found. International policy organisation the Counter Extremism Project warns Islamic State is continuing to evolve beyond Iraq and Syria, three years after declaring a caliphate. In its report, the CEP warns that policymakers and governments must address the changing threat the group now poses to the world. IS affiliates and supporters have carried out recent attacks in countries including Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Sinai Peninsula, Yemen, Somalia, India, Bangladesh and the Philippines.
