U.S. special envoy says coalition "seriously degrading" Islamic State
Retired General John Allen, President Barack Obama's special envoy to the coalition fighting Islamic State, said on Thursday the U.S.-led effort is weakening the militant group.        
 
"We're clearly degrading its capabilities," Allen told a U.S. House of Representatives hearing.       
 
He said Islamic State had lost more than a quarter of the territory it had held in Iraq, but said the situation in Syria is "more complex."
