FILE - This Saturday, July 5, 2014 file image made from video posted on a militant website which has been authenticated based on its contents and other AP reporting, purports to show the leader of the Islamic State group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, delivering a sermon at a mosque in Iraq. In an audio speech released in July, the group’s leader, al-Baghdadi, listed instances of alleged oppression of Muslims around the world, describing the “Islamic State” as one that “will return your dignity, might, rights and leadership.” With its transnational agenda, the group has become a magnet for disenfranchised young Muslims from all over the world.

FILE -- In this April 5, 2017 file photo, two boys pose for a photo while sitting atop a destroyed house in a neighborhood recently retaken by Iraqi security forces from Islamic State militants, in west Mosul, Iraq. The destruction on a single street in Mosul underscores the cost of breaking the IS group’s hold in the Iraqi city. All but two houses have been reduced by airstrikes to piles of concrete, brick and metal. With few supplies, residents are left stunned and traumatized, recounting stories of relatives and neighbors crushed in their homes. (AP Photo/Felipe Dana, File) (AP)
