New York, Feb 28: The Pentagon has sent the White House a prelimiry plan to defeat the Islamic State (IS), a spokesman said without providing details about the plan. Pentagon spokesman Jeff Davis on Monday was quoted by Xinhua news agency as saying that the plan is a framework for a broader plan to defeat the IS extremists, and the details of the draft are classified secret.

The draft plan came about a month after the US President Dold Trump ordered the Pentagon to come up with a plan to defeat the IS. He has repeatedly criticised the Obama administration for failing to stop the extremist group during last year’s campaign. (IANS)
