Currently, there is some debate about who in the western world posses a threat from within our own borders, but at least for now there’s still a consensus that the radicals who preach death need to be dealt with.
One less than likely ally for the United States is just about any war is Russia. In this case, though, I guess our interests are temporarily aligned in the sense that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Russia is reporting that at least one high-value target in the world of ISIS is believed to be eliminated in Syria.

Russia’s Defense Ministry says it is investigating reports that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed in one of its airstrikes in Syria last month.
The airstrike on May 28 was carried out on the outskirts of the militant group’s de facto capital Raqqa, on a command post where ISIS leaders were meeting, according to a ministry statement.
“According to information that is being verified through various channels, the leader of ISIS … Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was also present at the meeting and was killed as a result of the strike,” the ministry said.
