Question: (CNN) Last week, the American-backed Syrian Democratic Forces announced that it had taken Raqqa, the Syrian city, which had served as ISIS' capital. The taking of the city is the latest in a series of substantial military blows to ISIS' fortunes. However, Americans should not expect the fall of Raqqa to have a substantial effect on the jihadist threat at home. The threat posed by ISIS to the United States has long come primarily from its ability to inspire and enable attacks -- and not from its territorial holdings in Syria and Iraq. Since ISIS burst onto the global scene in 2014, seven individuals motivated by jihadist ideology have killed 74 people inside the United States in six attacks, according to New America's research. Though they may have been inspired by ISIS, none of those attacks were carried out under direct command by the group, and none of the deadly attacks involved a fighter who had returned from Syria or Iraq.David Sterman: Although the fall of Raqqa is a military blow to ISIS, the group and its ideology still remain a threat to the USISIS is quite effective at inspiring and enabling attacks thousands of miles from its base

Answer: Although there have been non-lethal attacks and foiled plots in which the plotters communicated with _ militants abroad.


Question: (CNN) -- Roma became the first team in Serie A history to win its opening 10 games of the season after a 1-0 victory over bottom feeder Chievo, a result that also restored the Giallorossi's five-point advantage at the top of the table over Juventus and Napoli. Roma bossed possession -- amassing 65% overall -- but when the hour mark passed and the match remained scoreless it appeared as if Chievo would engineer an upset and take a point in the Eternal City. Club legend Francesco Totti couldn't bail out Roma, since he was out injured. Marco Borriello, however, struck in the 67th minute with a header to put an end to Chievo's resistance.Roma sets new record in Serie A by winning its 10th straight game to start seasonMarco Borriello scores in the second half to give Roma a 1-0 win over last-place ChievoIn Spain, Atletico Madrid kept pace with Barcelona by beating Granada 2-1A strike in France moved closer after the French president refused to budge on tax policy

Question: (CNN) -- The midterm elections are a week away. Control of the Senate will be decided by a handful of close contests that remain competitive in the final days. In an era of narrow majorities in the upper chamber, just one or two races can make all the difference in terms of who will be in control. Most experts are predicting that Republicans will gain the Senate, though there are a few outliers, like my colleague at Princeton University, Sam Wang, whose statistical models have been showing that Democrats can still be victorious. In the coming days, here are six campaigns to watch. In each of these states Republicans are holding their ground by connecting their opponent to President Obama while Democrats strike back by reminding voters of extremism in the GOP.The outcome of six races could determine whether the U.S. remains in Democrats' handsJulian Zelizer: Democrats citing GOP extremism; Republicans cite Obama's performanceIn four of the states, Democratic incumbents are seeking to win re-electionZelizer: Can White House reverse historical pattern of midterm losses?
