Under the leadership of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a Sunni militant group called the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) began an offensive in June, capturing large areas in Iraq and Syria. On 29 June 2014, the group proclaimed a worldwide caliphate, claiming religious, political and military authority over Muslims worldwide. The group has beheaded an unknown number of Syrians, several Lebanese soldiers, at least 10 Kurds, two American journalists, one American and two British aid workers. It also abducted scores of women from the minority Yazidi sect in Iraq to serve as sex slaves

Sydney Siege

On December 15, a lone gunman stormed a Lindt chocolate cafe and held nine customers and eight employees hostage. The gunman demanded that an ISIS flag be brought to him during the siege. Cops shot dead the Iranian-origin ‘lone wolf’ terrorist after a 16-hour standoff. Two hostages were also killed
