AFP, United States :
Hillary Clinton pledged on Thursday to take the fight to Islamic extremists “in the air, on the ground and in cyberspace,” in echoes of Winston Churchill’s rousing World War Two speech.
It comes a day after a young couple shot dead 14 people at a California holiday party, and although officials stress it is too soon to say what their motive was, President Barack Obama said it was “possible” it was terrorism-related.
Speaking to employees at a factory in New Hampshire during a campaign stop, Clinton, the Democratic presidential frontrunner, said that the United States must lead the fight against “violent jihadist terrorism.”
She too stopped short of branding Wednesday’s shooting a terrorist attack, but in shades of then British prime minister Churchill in 1940, vowed to go after extremists — particularly the Islamic State group — no matter where they are.
“We have to fight them in the air, we have to fight them on the ground, and we have to fight them in cyberspace,” she said.
