"'ISIS has lost its leader for the second time. This is of course a major setback for the group. While important, however, the international community should guard against the risk of a false sense of the strategic impact. Despite the loss of al Qurayshi, things are actually looking up for ISIS. The group was able to counter al Qaeda pressure in West Africa, integrate most of Boko Haram, establish a new affiliate in Central Africa, and increase activities in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. We are still very much in the middle of the fight.' — Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director at the Counter Extremism Project."
