'ISIS has lost 95% of its caliphate'

The Islamic State (ISIS) group has lost 95 percent of the cross-border "caliphate" it declared three years ago in Iraq and Syria, the U.S.-led coalition fighting the jihadist group says.

"Since our coalition was formed in 2014, ISIS has lost 95 percent of the territory it once controlled in Iraq and Syria," Washington's envoy to the coalition, Brett McGurk, said late Wednesday after a meeting in Jordan, according to AFP.
