Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi said that the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) remains a fierce adversary as he outlined plans during a trip to Washington to prioritize battles in the refinery city of Baiji and Anbar province. He portrayed a mixed picture of a weakening ISIS eight months after U.S.-led air strikes against the group began in Iraq. Asked whether Islamic State's defeat was in sight as major campaign milestones approach, Abadi was measured, saying the group was on that path, but still showed some resilience and was proving "very mobile."
