I spoke too  soon? So did everyone else. See my previous blog entry first!

ISIS = ISIL and ISIL = ISIS.

NOW from the Chicago Tribune  "NEWS BRIEFING" only today:

"Activists: ISIL regains control of Syrian border town near Iraq"

"BEIRUT - - Islam State fighters have regained control of a town near the border with Iraq near the border with Iraq that the government said it captured a few days ago. Syrian opposition activists said Saturday."

"Boukamal [Abu Kamal], the last major ISIS stronghold in Syria, was taken by government soldiers and their allies Thursday, ISIS militants withdrew from the town and launched a counteroffensive over the past two days."

". . . ISIS figthers are once again full control of the town."

In all cases the Islamic State resilient, aggressive, determined and even fanatical.
