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.

4)The claim also importantly remarked: “The police...hinted at similar attacks in the past targeting boats and property of the apostate government," seeming to directly imply ISIS fighters were behind the Mar. 22 arson attack on police boat in Gan.

5)Circulating all on IS-linked channels and groups is the #Dhivehi -language version of yesterday’s claim from the #Maldives, leaving serious concern over an increase in recruitment and future attacks.
