Washington: The Islamic State has "demonstrated that there is no limit to its reach, and no nation is really safe until they all come together to defeat this scourge", the New York Times said following the terror attacks in Paris.

An editorial "What will come after Paris" in the NYT on Monday said that the terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday, along with twin bombings in Beirut on the day before and the downing of a Russian jetliner over the Sinai Peninsula on October 31, "show a new phase in the Islamic State’s war against the West, a readiness to strike far beyond areas it controls in Iraq, Syria, and increasingly, Libya".
