gs Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 U.S. launches airstrikes against ISIS inside Syria U.S. jets have begun airstrikes in the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa, Syria. These are the first strikes against the terror group inside the country since President Barack Obama's announcement that he was prepared to expand the American efforts beyond targets in Iraq
Raghav_12 Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 These air strikes not helping a lot. In Iraq they did little to change the lines of control. At the most you can say they stopped advances of ISIS in Iraq and then they have shifted their focus on Syria.

Sachin=GOD Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 The head of the Jordanian armed forces told the family of a Jordanian pilot held captive by Islamic State insurgents that he had been killed, a member of the family told Reuters. Islamic State earlier posted a video purporting to show the pilot Muath al-Kasaesbeh being burnt alive. Reuters could not immediately confirm the five images, which showed a burning man standing in a black cage. Kasaesbeh was captured by Islamic State after his plane crashed over Syria in December. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/02/03/us-mideast-crisis-killing-idUSKBN0L71XE20150203?utm_source=twitter These barbarians are going back to the middle ages with their methods.
Texy Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I came across that video. Extremely gruesome. He screamed in agony before the flesh melted off his body. Barbaric pigs. Hope Jordan destroys them all.

ISIS took a wrong gamble at Kobani which they lost clearly. This loss not only did have a devastating material impact on ISIS it just broke their morale as well.

Sachin=GOD Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 What ISIS Really Wants The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here’s what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it. http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2015/02/what-isis-really-wants/384980/ Fantastic work by the journalist.

Gollum Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 IT Chief at Bangladesh Coca-Cola Unit Arrested as ISIS Suspect - An IT manager at a subsidiary of Coca-Cola Co was one of two men arrested in Dhaka, Bangladesh on suspicion of planning to fight for Islamic State in Syria, police and company sources said on Monday. - The pair were detained during a raid in the capital, Dhaka, on Sunday night, said Sheikh Nazmul Alam, a senior official of the police detective branch. - One man, Aminul Islam, was the information technology head of a multinational company, and worked as a regional coordinator for Islamic State, while the other, Sakib Bin Kamal, was a teacher(:omg:) at a school in Dhaka, he added. - A police official and a company source told Reuters that Islam worked at International Beverages Private Ltd, a Coca-Cola unit. The company source, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case, confirmed the arrested man was the head of IT, and said he had been absent from work for several days. - In a statement, the subsidiary said it was aware of media reports that the employee, whom it named as Aminul Islam Baig, had been arrested. "We will fully cooperate with the law enforcement agencies as required," it said. - "We can confirm Mr. Md Aminul Islam Baig is an employee of IBPL," a Coca-Cola spokesman said by email. "We are cooperating fully ... with the law enforcement agencies on this matter." - Alam said the suspects had confessed to having persuaded at least 25 students to join Islamic State, the militant group that has captured swathes of Syria and Iraq. - At least 12 people have been arrested in Bangladesh in recent months for suspected involvement with Islamic State, and reports of its growing influence have raised fears across South Asia. - It remains unclear whether militants organizing under its name are acting on their own or as part of a centralized initiative from the Middle East. - Bangladesh, whose population is around 90 percent Muslim, is already on alert. Three secular bloggers including a U.S. citizen, Avijit Roy, have been killed by radical Islamists since February. - In a separate development on Monday, the Interior Ministry banned Ansarullah Bangla Team, a group that has claimed responsibility for the killings, as an extremist militant organization. http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-terror/it-chief-bangladesh-coca-cola-unit-arrested-isis-suspect-n364401

Gollum Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Islamic State Is Rapidly Expanding in Southeast Asia - The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has ramped up its activities in Southeast Asia so effectively that there is now an entire military unit of terrorists recruited from Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, according to Singapore's prime minister. - “Southeast Asia is a key recruitment center for ISIS,” Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said at the Shangri-La Dialogue here in Singapore Friday. He noted that this included more than 500 Indonesians and dozens of Malaysians. “ISIS has so many Indonesian and Malaysia fighters that they form a unit by themselves -- the Katibah Nusantara -- Malay Archipelago Combat Unit,” he added. - Even in the small and tightly controlled city-state of Singapore, “a few” young men have gone to Syria to join the Islamic State ranks, and even more were intercepted trying to leave, Lee disclosed. He said the Singaporean authorities had recently arrested two students, one 17 and one 19, the latter of whom had planned to assassinate Singaporean government officials if he was unable to reach the Middle East. - “This is why Singapore takes terrorism, and in particular ISIS, very seriously,” Lee said. “The threat is no longer over there, it is over here.” - Lee revealed that the Islamic State has posted a propaganda and recruitment video showing Malay-speaking children training with weapons inside territory controlled by the terror group, and that two Malaysians were identified in a separate video carrying out the beheading of a Syrian man. - Lee also said that the Malaysian police have arrested several people who were planning to go to Syria to join the terrorist group, including some members of the Malaysian armed forces. Some were planning attacks inside Malaysia. Meanwhile, several jihadist groups in Southeast Asia have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, including Indonesia-based Jemaah Islamiyah, whose leader, Abu Bakar Bashir, announced his allegiance from his prison cell last year. - The Islamic State has said it intends to establish a province of its "caliphate" in Southeast Asia. Lee said the idea was a “grandiose, pie-in-the sky dream.” But he warned that it's entirely feasible that the group could take advantage of some ungoverned spaces to establish a foothold from which to expand recruiting and plan attacks in the new host countries. “That would pose a serious threat to the whole of Southeast Asia,” Lee said. - Terrorism in Southeast Asia is not new. More than 200 people died in the Bali bombings in 2002. Jemaah Islamiyah almost succeeded in a plot to bomb diplomatic offices in Singapore just after Sept. 11, 2001. But the development that Southeast Asian terror groups are now flying the black Islamic State flag -- and that young men from the region are saluting -- is a huge problem. This disease has spread to every part of the world. :((
