[VOA] WASHINGTON - One of the Islamic State terror group's media divisions is promising supporters that a major announcement is on the way ‐ the first of its kind since the death of its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, in a U.S. raid on Sunday.
IS's Al-Furqan Foundation started promoting the announcement at midday Wednesday.
"We've all become Jehovah's Witnesses, so, expect to see us in your doorways"
"Coming Soon ... By the Willingness of Allah the Almighty," the announcement said, without sharing details.

The SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadist communications, said supporters quickly began distributing the poster on social media platforms, with some expressing hope that Baghdadi was still alive while others were preparing to celebrate his martyrdom. IS official media operatives have been issuing their usual news updates on operations in Syria, Iraq and around the world, but they have been silent so far about the fate of Baghdadi, who was killed by U.S. special forces in a raid on a compound in Barisha in Syria's Idlib province.

FBI Director Christopher Wray also warned of indications that IS was preparing to make increased use of women and children.
"We know that ISIS has started to take advantage of women in operational planning and trying to recruit youth, some of them in these displacement camps," Wray said. "That's going to present all kinds of problems for us and our partners."
What an exciting time for the UK, who just welcomed the daesh women and children back with open arms. |
