France Defence Minister Vows to "Wipe out" ISIS

France’s defence minister Jean-Yves Le Drian has vowed that Isis must be “wiped out” as the country mounts its response to three days of terror attacks.The Independent reports,

An Isis-inspired gunman was among the three extremists who carried out co-ordinated atrocities that left 17 people dead in Paris
Following the US, France has the largest number of planes and troops involved in the coalition fighting Isis, which last year took control of large swathes of Iraq and Syria.

It has also sent about 3,500 troops and special forces to operate in the Sahel-Sahara region of northern Africa hunting down al-Qaeda affiliated militias.
“It is the same enemy. Our forces are on the ground here because...for our troops it's the same fight,” Mr Le Drian told Europe 1 radio.
“The response is inside and outside France. Islamic State (Isis) is a terrorist army with fighters from everywhere...it is an international army that has to be wiped out and that is why we are part of the coalition.”
