WHITE PLAINS: Hillary Clinton called Thursday for the United States to track down and kill Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as it did Osama Bin laden, insisting her Republican rival Donald Trump has no plan to defeat the jihadists.

"We should make it a top priority to hunt down the leader of ISIS," the democratic White House hopeful told reporters on a tarmac in White Plains, New York.

"Getting al-Baghdadi will require efforts at the top levels, but it will send a resounding message that nobody directs or inspires attacks against the United States and gets away with it."
