DISINFO: The US created ISIS and terrorism in the Middle East
SUMMARY
The US created ISIS and terrorism in the Middle East
RESPONSE
No evidence is given. Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative claiming that the US is supporting or working together with ISIS in the Middle East and that ISIS has been supported by the US, British, French and Israeli intelligence services in order to demolish Syria. This message is part of a broader conspiracy theory alleging that the United States has created and supported many jihadi terrorist organisations and controls global terrorism. In reality, the US is committed to fighting terrorist organisations, such as Daesh and Al-Qaeda. Ever since the September 11 terrorist attacks, the US and its allies have been engaged in military and intelligence efforts to counter Al Qaeda, ISIS and other radical Islamist terrorist groups around the world. Read similar cases claiming that Mike Pompeo travelled to Jerusalem to develop plans for future terrorism with the Israelis and that terrorists coordinate with US forces in Syria.
