  5. A 27 year old Jordanian pilot, Moath a-Kasasbeh, was murdered by ISIS. He was burned alive in the hopes that the event would tear America and it’s allies apart. Experts have said the killing was mainly for publicity and they never planned to release him. In retaliation to this event, Jordan has sent out airstrikes on ISIS and they also executed two other terrorists. Although these terrorists were not a part of ISIS. The jets from the air strike returned to fly over the fallen pilot’s home. This is said to be only part one of Jordan’s retaliation and Jordan has said, “You shall know who the Jordanians are.”

  6. The U.S. strategy to defeat ISIS is working was announced on Sunday by a top White House official and Secretary of State John Kerry. Although other parts of the Obama administration says the terror network is spreading. Concerns about the U.S. needing to do more followed the deaths of two ISIS hostages. Kerry told NBC's "Meet the Press" that the U.S.-led coalition was well on their way to defeating the terrorist locates in Syria and Irag know has ISIS or ISIL. That coalition forces have recaptured 22 percent of the populated areas that ISIS once held in the region was argued by Secretary of State John Kerry. Reports by Ashton Carter suggest that ISIS may spread to Afghanistan.

  9. French government to block websites accused of promoting terrorism and publishing child pornography, without seeking a court order. Under the new rules, published last week by France's Ministry of the Interior, internet service providers (ISPs) must take down offending websites within 24 hours of receiving a government order. French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve says the decree is critical to combatting terrorism, but civil rights groups say it gives the government dangerously broad powers to suppress free speech.

  15. Mediha Medy Salkicevic, 34 and one of six Bosnian immigrants charged Friday. A U.S judge will decide whether to allow the Schiller Park woman to travel on her own to St. Louis, where the case is being held, or if she will be escorted by U.S. marshals. The defendants are accused of sending money and equipment to groups the U.S. has deemed as terrorist organizations, including the Islamic State group and Nusra Front, an al-Qaida-affiliated rebel group. Salkicevic works as a cargo handler at O'Hare International Airport, which raises security concerns. They also told the court that Salkicevic has relatives in Bosnia, including her mother and three sisters, increasing the chances of her fleeing abroad. She could serve up to 30 years in prison for this.

It has been longer than a year and her parents and family members are hoping that she is still alive and are hoping for a safe return.

  27. Kayla Mueller was 26 years old when she was held by ISIS. She has been killed and this brings up the questions of how or if we should negotiate with terrorists. Mueller wrote a very inspiring letter during the time she was held captive by ISIS.
