troops had stayed with other NATO members in Afghanistan, they would have been able to fight Daesh and we would be safer than we are now.

Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, former commander of the US Army Command (CENTCOM), warned in an interview with ABC News' "This Week" about his new book, The Melting Point, on Sunday, April 1, against the use of an online method by ISIS in organizing attacks.


Concerned about the presence of Daesh in Afghanistan, the former commander of CENTCOM said: "If 2,500 U.S. troops had stayed with other NATO members in Afghanistan, they would have been able to fight Daesh, and we would be safer than we are now."

McKenzie said that "extremism by people outside the U.S. may be one of the most dangerous methods ISIS can use to carry out attacks."

He also said that ISIS is not under pressure in Afghanistan and that it is normal to seek targets and carry out attacks not only in Russia but also in the United States and other UN member states.

"The Russian attack may have been an act directly orchestrated by ISIS-K but online extremism poses a threat to the future."

The retired US general has described ISIS as difficult to identify and described their attacks as deadly.

It comes as concerns about the global threat posed by ISIS have grown after the group attacked a concert hall in Crocus killing 144 people.

U.S. officials have repeatedly warned of the group's presence in Afghanistan, while saying they would be vigilant enough to face the threat posed by ISIS.

The former commander of the US Army Command (CENTCOM) has said that ISIS is using online methods to organize its attacks, posing a threat to the future of global security. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, concerned about Daesh's presence in Afghanistan, said: "If 2,500 U.S.
