1. Very interesting research by @ToreRHamming into an ISIS-affiliated attacker in Sweden, who was acquitted of a Molotov cocktail attack on a Shia mosque. Go back through the coverage & you’ll see how ppl initially discounted it as not being ISIS. ctc.usma.edu/2016-copenhage…
2. Argument I heard at the time regarding Malmo attack is that it was an attack on a mosque, so couldn’t be ISIS. What folks missed is that it was a Shia mosque. Before ISIS sent French suicide bombers to attack Paris, they sent a Frenchman to attack Shia targets in Lebanon
3. And of interest is that @ToreRHamming’s research shows that an ISIS media operative reached out to the assailant in Sweden to confirm whether he’d carried out the attack. Public continues to think ISIS claims of responsibility for attacks are opportunistic. 
4. People point to the erroneous claims - Las Vegas being one major example. But time and again we’ve seen the group correctly claim the attack (meaning that the assailant’s ISIS affinity is eventually discovered). The erroroneous claims = a minority.
