None
KUALA LUMPUR - President Barack Obama vowed Sunday that the United States and its international partners "will not relent" in the fight against the Islamic State group, insisting the world would not accept the extremists' attacks on civilians in Paris and elsewhere as the "new normal."
"The most powerful tool we have is to say we are not afraid," Obama said as he wrapped up a nine-day trip to Turkey and Asia that was shadowed by terror attacks.
The president also pressed Russian President Vladimir Putin to align himself with the US-led coalition, noting that the Islamic State has been accused of bringing down a Russian passenger jet last month, killing 224 people.
"He needs to go after the people who killed Russian citizens," he said of Putin.
