Iraqi Kurdistan PM Barzani warns of 'great possibility' of IS group returning

In an exclusive interview with FRANCE 24, Masrour Barzani, Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, warned "there is a great possibility for ISIS (the Islamic State group) to come back" and urged the international community to take action. He claimed the IS group had more members now than it did in 2013 when it was about to create its "caliphate". Barzani said the terrorist group was taking advantage of the security "vacuum" in areas disputed between the central government in Baghdad and the Kurds. He called for the resumption of full security cooperation between the two parties.
