A cobbled together story about Russian mercenaries failing in Mozambique but no mention of lack of U.S. efforts against ISIS in this soon to be rich LNG region. theglobeandmail.com/world/article-…
ISIS is expanding rapidly into South, Central and West Africa. We fight them in the North, Afghanistan, Middle East but the Russian transactional efforts are growing.
The Islamic State and other mutated radical groups are in our midst. Not in great numbers and without any singular motivation except to lash out with senseless violent events. Like this fellow wearing a fake suicide bomb and wielding a cheap kitchen knife. thejournal.ie/london-bridge-…
The violent attacks in Mozambique were originally blamed on al Shabaab but then the group was franchised by IS in Central Africa who also subsumed the old ADF group from Uganda. Now everyone is nobody and no-one is everyone. The perfect terrorst cover. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
You don't seem much understanding of how vast and who wide (but not deep) the Islamic State's reach is until you drill down locally. For example here is Islamic State....in the vacation getaway of Trinidad. lawfareblog.com/trinidads-isla…
An earnest attempt to track the growth of these groups with a bewildering confusion of attacks, dogmas, locations and linkages. The bottom line is that AQ/IS type groups continue to infect regional disputes and maintain a a global franchising network. cisac.fsi.stanford.edu/mappingmilitan…
