Not quite.
They're just saying that the US has intensified its search to find the people who lead ISIS. People who have organizational control.
They're saying "officials". And who that would be? Maybe, ISIS Defense Minister or ISIS President? Human Rights Ombudsman of ISIS? They're just saying that the US has intensified its search to find the people who lead ISIS. People who have organizational control.
You have to differentiate between lowly foot soldiers / cannon fodder and the brains behind the organization.
CNN is trying to make this distinction.
I doubt that even clinically retarded presstitutes would refer to Mafia "officials" so it´s strange that they have such formal titles for terrorists and mass murderers. U.S. officials say they´re intensifying search for ISIS officials? Sounds idiotic.
