ISIS ‘clearly responsible for genocide,’ Tillerson says

Mark Reinstein/Corbis Via Getty Images(WASHINGTON) — Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Tuesday that ISIS has committed genocide.

“ISIS is clearly responsible for genocide against Yezidis, Christians, and Shiia Muslims,” Tillerson told reporters gathered in the State Department’s Treaty Room, adding that his statement should “remove any ambiguity from previous statements or reports by the State Department.”
