Iraq struggles to combat evolving terrorist threat
The Islamic State has developed a new way to conduct its terror operations, while the Iraqi government is unable to prevent security breaches.
Iraq needs to up its game if it hopes to keep up — or rather, catch up — with ever-evolving terrorist groups such as the Islamic State (IS).
