Hillary Clinton says the United States should hunt down and kill the leader of the Islamic State group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as it did Osama bin Laden.
The Democratic presidential contender spoke Thursday to reporters outside her campaign plane in White Plains, New York.
She said, "Nobody directs or inspires attacks against the United States and gets away with it." Clinton compared the mission to the 2011 killing of the al-Qaida leader who directed the September 11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000.
Clinton frequently recounts for voters her involvement in the operation as President Barack Obama's secretary of state.
Clinton also said she will convene a meeting of national security leaders on Friday.
