#Iran l’#EI revendique l’attaque de #ShahCheragh #Chiraz conduite par un seul homme selon le communiqué 
l’attaque a impliqué un seul homme / mais une fausse revendication a circulé moins d’1h avant, celle ci évoque «plusieurs attaquants» comme la version officielle +d’autres erreurs: la date en hejir qui est celle du calendrier chiite, wilayat Fares qui n’existe pas @CalibreObscura
Un cas intriguant qui rappelle la fausse désignation publique de Hajji Qardach comme successeur de #Baghdadi, même si in fine Qardach a bien succédé à Baghdadi et dans le cas actuel l’#EI est bien responsable de l’attaque de #ShahCheragh #Chiraz #Iran
Something big is going down in NW #Syria -- (a) U.S. helicopter gunships firing on a target in the #Jinderes area of #Afrin & (b) a possible SOF raid targeting Tauqir Sharif, a [former] #UK citizen in the Atmeh area of #Idlib.
Personally, I'd be amazed if such an operation was launched at Tauqir Sharif (Abu Hossam al-Britani) -- while his #UK citizenship was revoked, the cause for doing so never seemed more than tenuous.
.@frontlinepbs's documentary on #HTS leader Abu Mohammed al-Jolani begins at 10pm EST tonight -- it's already caused shockwaves in the jihadist world.
I've been studying #HTS (& its predecessors) & Jolani's leadership for 10yrs -- the story has profound analytical implications.

@frontlinepbs Few could have imagined in 2012-13 that Jolani's Jabhat al-Nusra would years later have a new name & be speaking in quasi nationalist tones; running a semi-technocratic "govt"; proactively engaging w. international NGOs & media; & seeking to establish dialogue w. Western govts.
@frontlinepbs The path between '12 Nusra & '21 #HTS is complex & strewn with inter-factional conflict; vicious internal strife; geopolitical manipulation; and above all, the impact of #Syria's nationwide uprising.
In breaking from #AlQaeda, #Jolani sparked a massive intra-jihadist debate.

The Melkite Qusta Ibn Luqa (c. 820-912) of Baalbek was one of the most prominent figures in the #ArabicTranslation movement rendering works esp in mathematics and astronomy 1/
One of his important original compositions was الرسالة في الفرق بين الروح والنفس that was rendered into #Latin as De differentia spiritus et animae by John of Seville (1100-1180) in Toledo in 1130 and was highly influential in #Baghdadi #Aristotelianism 2/
The Arabic was first edited in 1952 by Hilmi Ziya Ülken (d. 1974) and he pointed out the importance of Qusta as one bringing together the study of #philosophy and #medicine and contributing to medieval #psychology 3/
#Nigéria l’#EI Afrique de l’Ouest a diffusé hier une vidéo de 18:54 un mix d’images inédites et déjà vues. À part l’armement & munitions capturés dans différent raid, 3choses retiennent l’attention: l’éloquence de la dernière personne qui s’exprime en arabe en prose & vers
Les 2autres aspects qui retiennent l’attention sont le long discours d’Abou Abdallah al-Barnaoui qui s’exprime en Haoussa, donc à destination du public local même si les propos sont retranscrits en arabe & la mention explicite pour la 1e fois de Shekaou en contre ex
L’#EI annonce un nouvel audio via #AlFurqan qui diffuse les grosses productions & les audios du calife ou du porte-parole

US facing expanding radicalization problem - National Counterterrorism Center acting Director Russell Travers warns during talk at @WashInstitute the number of people in the #NCTC datat base has "grown by a factor of almost 20"
@WashInstitute NEW: "We have no indication that foreign terrorists have tried to exploit" the US refugee system, per #NCTC acting Dir Russell Travers
@WashInstitute Goal should be for US to have "near real time biographic & biometric screening" to keep terrorists out of the country, per #NCTC's Travers
Fascinating details in this report with #Baghdadi's brother-in-law about the hunt to the ISIS leader. Interesting insights on how ISIS used sheep herders to move around, and how these shepherds ended up stealing about $70m from an ISIS hideout:

July 2019, Iraqi National Intelligence Service intercepts a person by the name of Mohammed Ali Sajet al-Zoubai, Baghdadi’s brother-in-law & close aide. He crossed into Iraq and was traveling under “Othman Ahmed Farhan.
He‘d been tracked for a month after he entered the Iraqi borders. Within a month, he was captured as he entered Baghdad wearing his suicide belt, carrying a message to cells in the capital.
BREAKING: Audio from new official spokesman of #ISIS, “Abu Hamza al-Qurayshi.” Statement confirms Abu Hassan al-Muhajir's death, saying that he was a Saudi. Also confirms death of Baghdadi, announces "Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi" as new leader/"Caliph."
The message warns America not to rejoice in killing of its leadership. Asserts #ISIS is not limited to Middle East and that it will continue its mission.
The new message tells followers to continue to follow up on the call of Baghdadi's last audio message (released September 2019)--specifically in releasing Muslim prisoners and to make recruitment and outreach. ent.siteintelgroup.com/Statements/is-…
The Pentagon has released footage of the raid in which ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed.

1. @POTUS Trump and @EsperDoD @thejointstaff taking credit for the Kurds' successful mission. #SDF caught #Baghdadi and Trump and @RTErdogan tried to stop it. These grocery clerks are just lying for an ISIS affiliate in the @WhiteHouse.

They are now pretending the US has a role in Syria. It's pathetic.

@DeptofDefense @EsperDoD @thejointstaff Death of #ISIS' #Baghdadi "marks a devastating blow for the remnants of ISIS, who are now deprived of their inspirational leader" per @EsperDoD
@DeptofDefense @EsperDoD @thejointstaff "Our services members conducted themselves with incredible skill and professionalism" per @EsperDoD "They executed the raid, in all of its facets, brilliantly"
Polat Can (@PolatCanRojava) is among the most respected members of the SDF hierarchy. You can take this thread to the bank. On line translations of this thread:
1: Through our own sources, we confirmed that Baghdadi had moved in April from the Dashisha area of Deir Ezzor to the Idlib area. Since May 15, we have been working together with the @CIA to track #Baghdadi and monitor him closely.
2: One of our sources was able to reach the house where Baghdadi was hiding. Al-Baghdadi changed his places of residence every time. He was about to move to a new place in #Jarablus.
National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien *mostly* strikes the right balance here: it was standard procedure to give the Russians a heads up about US troops ahead of raid to kill #Baghdadi. We’ve been doing this since Russian intervention began in 2015. 1/3
It’s also true, as O’Brien says that Russia even though “Russia presents a great danger to the US” we shouldn’t foreswear cooperation if it’s in our interest 2/3
But it’s a totally blatant falsehood for Trump and O’Brien to insist that Russia has been an ally in the fight against ISIS. Trump’s been repeating this nonsense since 2016. Russian forces were sent to Syria in 2015 to save the Assad regime. Nothing more, nothing less. 3/3
Baghdadi is a “well-read” Muslim, with a PhD in Islamic studies. The Taliban spend a lifetime studying the Quran. If that doesn’t make them “true Muslims” then Allah’s word is not very effective, is it?

Their spies freely mingle with GOP donors, meet with Trump campaign members, and have received classified information inside the oval office while press was explicitly excluded. One spy was released from prison yesterday after serving an 18 month sentence.

There were dozens of indictments of Russian nationals in the Mueller report. Russian oligarchs have pumped millions into Trump's real estate empire for decades.Trump was negotiating a deal to build in Moscow during & through the election, which he & others routinely lied about
