ISIS continues after leader’s death
Civilians return to the city after fighting subsides in Hassakeh, Syria, Jan. 30, 2022.
The US dealt a major blow to ISIS in Syria last week by assassinating its top leader, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi. But that doesn’t spell the end of the terror group that once controlled large swaths of territory across Syria and Iraq. And in Ukraine, many citizens say that in the event of an all-out Russian invasion, they’re prepared. Some have decided to join the Kyiv Territorial Defense Forces, where they learn to bear arms to defend their country. Plus, India’s first feature documentary to be nominated for an Academy Award tells the story of the only news agency in India run by Dalit women.
