White House defends 'under-reported' terror list

The White House has defended its decision to publish a list of recent
terror attacks by saying ISIS is trying to do America harm.

It comes after US President Donald Trump said the media was under
reporting terrorist incidents, something discredited by global media

The White House's list covers 78 attacks since September 2014, but
fails to include last week's Quebec mosque killings, or the murder of
nine African Americans in a Charleston church.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said the President's comments came
out of a desire to keep America safe.
