US Official: 'End Days' Nearing for ISIS in Syria

Col. Sean Ryan, a spokesman for the US-led Coalition said Saturday that fighting against ISIS (banned in Russia) in its last enclave in eastern Syria "is going very well,'' Asharq Al-Awsat reports. His comments came a day after the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces captured the town of Hajin, the largest urban area controlled by ISIS in the enclave.

Ryan said the extremist organization still poses a threat and its militants are regrouping, planting improvised explosives devices to slow the progress of SDF offensives. He added that the "end days" of ISIS in the enclave they hold near Iraq's border are getting closer, however, "they still have the capability for coordinated attacks, and the fight is not over."
