Kudos to @doj & @FBIPortland for indictment of Portland resident Hawazen Sameer Mothafar—cannot be overstated how important this is. Mothafar worked w prominent #ISIS-linked group Dera’ al-Sunni (Sunni Shield) & its mag, “Anfaal.” Arrest marks major blow to ISIS’ media machine. 
Sunni Shield a prolific producer of pro-#ISIS incitements & propaganda. Its posters alone, w strong focus on the West, have threatened/incited for New Years attacks in NYC, Paris, Turkey, etc. Was among loudest cheering on #AustriaAttack. @siteintelgroup's DB shows ~1000 entries
Sunni Shield also produced “Anfal” magazine, which ran Nov 2017 - March 2019. Anfal became de facto replacement of Rumiyah w strong emphasis on attacks (poison/bomb/weapon manuals, locations, targets), OPSEC (e.g. using TOR & VPNs) & republished Naba material.
Watching the video of the terrorist shooting a civilian while walking, it reminds me of the same style used in Paris when the attacker did exactly the same, shooting a policeman.
In #austriaAttack, the man carried a gun & a machine gun with abundant ammo

#austriaAttack doesn't look an attack on the Synagogue but a terrorist - It doesn't look he had a specific target- attack shooting passerby. 1 of the terrorists (it is definitely a Paris-style attack to me) shot a civilian from a short distance 3 times to be able to reach him.
