ISIS has claimed responsibility for a lethal attack on a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo, resulting in the deaths of over 40 individuals. The attack, which occurred in a predominantly Catholic region, has intensified fears of the growing influence of extremist groups in the region. Greg Palkot of Fox News addressed the incident on ‘America’s Newsroom,’ emphasizing the ongoing security challenges faced by the country.
