Islamic State: 'Much More Organized Than Previously Thought'

The first Western journalist to enter the Islamic State and return to safety says the group is stronger, more brutal and harder to confront than he had expected.
 
German author Juergen Todenhoefer spent six days in the IS city of Mosul in Iraq, travelling there from Syria. 
 
Forces TV reporter Simon Newton spoke to Michael Stephens, a Middle East expert with the Royal United Services Institute, and asked him what can be learned from this new insight into Islamic State.
