Islamic State and Russia Central Asia

: Terrorists are already publicly stating that they have targets set on Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem, according to The Moscow Times. Their plans include expanding activities to Europe, Russia, Central and Southeast Asia." Putin couldn't be more correct. The Islamic State controls significant stretches of territory in Iraq and Syria. The Islamic State threatens Russia and Central Asia specifically. Putin also blames American foreign policy for the migrant crisis currently engulfing Europe and has called for an international coalition against terrorism and extremism. Even though the Kremlin sees the rise of the Islamic State as the product of destructive American foreign policy and military operations that leave ungovernable holes later filled in by terrorists and transnational criminal groups, the Kremlin is intent on being a part of the solution to these problems.
