As @azelin just posted, a previously unknown jihâdist group - Humât al-Tawhîd - has claimed killing King Salmân b. 'Abd al-'Azîz's bodyguard 'Abd al-'Azîz al-Fagham. #KSA

@azelin The group first appeared in early September, their first statement "Fight the Allies of Satan" is dated 02 Muharram 1441. The group has since released two short video clips and a number of short infographics detailing its belief system.

@azelin The group is clearly salafî-jihâdî, rather certainly not linked to #IS, and probably also independent of #AQ. The guidelines for terrorist operations announced by the group look stricter than those of either before mentioned movements.

@azelin The intended targets of the group are: members of the security forces; judges; American, Jewish, and Western businessmen; #KSA princes; religious scholars supporting the government; journalists supporting the government.

@azelin The exclusion of Shiites basically rules out #IS links. The inclusion of Sunnî scholars answering to #KSA was introduced by #IS though.
