1) BREAKING: #ISIS claims its first ever attack in the #Maldives, stating a special source told #Naba that Islamic State fighters carried out the arson attack that destroyed five boats, including a police and ambulance unit, in #Mahibadhoo town, central Maldives.
2)This claim doesn't come as a surprise. As I've discussed before, #ISIS supporters carried out a stabbing attack on foreigners in Feb., claiming through an ISIS-style video & it was only a matter of time before these supporters connected w/ ISIS directly

3)#ISIS stated the boats belonged to the "Apostate Maldivian Government and its loyalists" and were destroyed using "incendiary bombs." Most remarkable is the speed of the claim. W/ the attack having happened late Wed., the line of comm. is clearly open.

#ISIS cites/exploits western media coverage and analysts to say the group has not been defeated.
“If you follow Crusader media these days you’ll find strange unanimous agreement from their leaders and experts that the Islamic State will endure [here to stay]”, reads the opening sentence of ISIS’s editorial in al-#Naba on 21 Feb.
Also worth noting in the #Naba editorial is how #ISIS slightly adapted its trademark slogan باقية وتتمدد (Remaining & Expanding), which at the height of its power IS used to mean its "caliphate" is remaining or here to stay and its territory/presence is expanding.
