… Says groups remain active globally
By Nkiruka Nnorom
The United States has said jihadist terrorist groups have remained a danger to global peace and security despite effective global campaigns and reaffirmed its resolve to sustain counter-terrorism efforts through diplomacy, financial action and military cooperation with partners.
Ambassador Gregory D. LoGerfo, Coordinator and Ambassador-at-Large for Counterterrorism at the U.S. Department of State, stated this in a statement on the outcome of the ministerial on the resurgence of political terrorism convened by Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington.
The ministerial, which was held last week at the State Department, had delegations from 66 countries in attendance. It focused on what officials described as a resurgent threat from far-left political terrorism, alongside continued risks posed by narco-terrorists and Islamic jihadist groups.
