IS leader calls on fighters to free detained comrades

2019-09-17

[IsraelTimes] The leader of the Islamic State

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group has released a new alleged audio recording calling on members of the holy warrior group to do all they can to free IS detainees and women held in jails and camps.

The purported audio by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is his first public statement since April, when the shadowy leader appeared in a video for the first time in five years.

In the 30-minute recording released today by a media arm of the group, al-Baghdadi asks: "How can a Moslem enjoy life?" when Moslem women are held in camps that he called "prisons of humiliation run by Crusaders and their Shiite followers."

The Jerusalem Post adds:

Islamic State's media network on Monday published an audio message purporting to come from its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi warning that "daily operations" were underway.

"Daily operations are underway on different fronts," he said in the tape published by the Al Furqan network, in what would be his first message since April. He cited several regions such as Mali and the Levant but gave no specific timings.
