ISIS might have destroyed Russian helicopters at base- Cameron Eisenberg

Article- 4 helicopters and 20 lorries were destroyed last week, and the evidence points to ISIS. There were several explosions across the base, and that the helicopters were in an area that had seen fighting between Russia and ISIS. The only thing that keeps officials from being sure is that ISIS hasn't outright claimed the attacks yet.
Analysis- This could be compared to what happened to the USS Maine before the Spanish American War, where Americans just accused the Spanish. Unlike that though, we actually have some evidence. The issue is that there could be a million other groups in the region, or just a lone wolf. The evidence says this was intentional, but it doesn't specifically say ISIS
