© Nicholas Kamm / ReutersU.S. Secretary of State John Kerry (L) speaks next to Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni during a news conference following a ministerial meeting of the so-called "anti-Islamic State coalition" in Rome, Italy, February 2, 2016.
The press conference was coming to an end, when the woman stood up from the public, her head covered up by a black veil.
"It's you who created Daesh!" she shouted at the two ministers, using another name for the terror group Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), reported the Italian state-owned television channel RAI.
The woman was dragged away from the conference by the Carabinieri.
After meeting with Gentiloni, Kerry said he was convinced that the US-led international coalition would "crush ISIS" eventually. His Italian counterpart expressed much more caution.
"There have been steps forward on the ground with respect to the Paris summit. But no triumphalism is warranted, we must continue the armed effort in Iraq," Gentiloni said.
He added that in the fight against ISIS "important progress has been made," although "we are faced with a very resilient organization and therefore we must not underestimate it."
The protester in Italy is not the first to accuse Washington of midwifing the rise of IS. One former US Marine has blamed the self-proclaimed caliphate on the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.
"I knew what I was seeing was wrong, I knew it was immoral, I knew it was unjust, I knew it was illegal," Vincent Emanuele told RT in December 2015," and "I knew that we would pay severe consequences in the form of the blowback as we are seeing with groups like ISIS."
In 2012, the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) warned the government that "there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in eastern Syria... and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime."
The Obama administration made a "willful decision" to ignore the warning, former DIA Director Lieutenant General Michael Flynn told Al Jazeera in August of last year.
“The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al-Qaeda, and any informed intelligence officer knows this. But, there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an intensified entity representing the ‘devil’ only in order to drive TV watchers to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the United States.” – Former British Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook

Not long ago, FBI whistleblower and founder of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition(NSWBC), Sibel Edmunds, made an appearance on RT stating that ISIS is the new Al-Qaeda, here to revive what she describes as the “terror war industry.” David Steele, a 20-year Marine Corps Intelligence Officer, and the second-highest-ranking civilian in the U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence, has expressed much the same thing, stating that most terrorists are false flag terrorists, or are created by “our own security services.”
