ISLAMABAD: (Dunya News) – Former Interior Minister of Pakistan Senator Rehman Malik has on Friday called for a joint strategy against Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) on a global level, reported Dunya News.
In his letter to United Nations (UN) Joint Secretary Ban Ki Moon, Dr. Rehman Malik has said that the world is facing a joint enemy in the face of ISIS. He said that ISIS’s activities are constantly increasing.

In his article for Daily Mail Online, Piers Morgan wrote that since ISIS has now not only destroyed a Russian airbus by planting a bomb in it and has claimed the responsibility of the attack as well, it clearly says that the organization is not going to budge without any serious strategy. He said that ISIS is much more threatening than Al-Qaeda since the previous big enemy of the US was nothing more than an opportunistic group of smaller terror groups but ISIS, he says, is a highly trained and disciplined organization with a centralized structure and an urge to own a state, occupying as much space as possible.
