Carter: Cyberwar on ISIL is 'accelerating'

摘要

Defense Secretary Ash Carter made it clear on Feb. 29 that the United States is now fully engaged in cyberattacks against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. "We are accelerating this as we are accelerating everything," he told reporters during a Pentagon news conference. Moments earlier, Carter and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford announced that U.S. forces were in the process of isolating the Iraqi city of Mosul in preparation to "increase the quality and quantity" of counter-ISIL operations.
