ISIS: It is the short name of The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. it is a terrorist group works as a militant organization that emerged as an offshoot of al Qaeda. ISIS first emerged in Pakistan in January 2015.

ISIS has big aspirations to establish an Islamic caliphate with an imposing strict Islamic rule across the Middle East and Asia. ISIS has a black flag.
