N2  - "Out of the failures of Iraq and Afghanistan, the Arab Spring and Syria, a new threat emerges. While Al Qaeda is weakened, new jihadi movements, especially ISIS, are starting to emerge.

The reports of their military coordination and brutality are chilling. While they call for the formation of a new caliphate once again the West becomes a target.
