The number of countries in which the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is operating has more than doubled since 2014, according to a classified White House map obtained Tuesday by NBC News.
Two years ago, when the U.S. first began its campaign against the terror group, ISIS had a presence in seven countries. That figure rose to 13 in 2015, and today the White House document shows that ISIS is operating in 18 countries.
