United States President Obama delivers a statement after meeting his National Security Council over terrorism and groups like Islamic State and Al-Qaeda in the aftermath of Orlando shootings. Here are the excerpts of his statement:

- Our mission is to destroy ISIL (Islamic State). This continues to be a difficult fight but we are making significant progress.

-Our message is clear, if you target America and its allies, you will not be safe. You will never be safe.

-Weve taken out more than 120 top ISIL leaders and commanders.

-We have to make it harder for people who want to kill Americans to get their hands on weapons that let them kill dozens: US President Obama

- Be tough on terrorism. Stop making it easy as possible for terrorists to buy assault weapons.

- Groups like ISIL and Al-Qaeda want to make this war, a war between Islam and America or a war between Islam and the West. They want to claim that they are the true leaders of over a billion Muslims around the World who reject their crazy notions.
