Police in the EU and US have crippled the propaganda efforts of Islamic State in a “ground-breaking” operation.
European policing agency Europol said the the co-ordinated operation across several countries had “punched a big hole in the capability of IS to spread propaganda online and radicalise young people in Europe”.
A particular target for the operation was the group’s Amaq news agency, which has been used by IS to broadcast claims of responsibility for attacks and spread propaganda messages.
