Unmanned US drones conducted airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Iraq today and the Pentagon is said to be considering sending up to 300 more US security forces to Baghdad. President Obama vowed that the US would be relentless in bringing justice to the Islamic State terrorists who beheaded US journalist James Foley. Confirming Foley’s murder, Secretary of State Kerry called the Islamic State “evil.” A US official dismissed the idea that the beheading and threats by the Islamic State would cause the US to suspend airstrikes, saying “the only question is if we do more.”
