ISIS releases new video of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi for first time since 2014

[Komori]

ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may have appeared for the first time in five years - CNN

There have been some doubts about the authenticity of the video, but it's very clearly him not just from the appearance but also the voice if you know Arabic. I have not been able to find the full video, only snippets (Fox News says the full thing is 18 minutes long) on Arabic Twitter and elsewhere, but I will update If I can.

The video is given the title "In the Hospitality of the Amir of the Believers" (في ضيافة أمير المؤمنين؟).

Two minutes from the video: مثيب المطرفي | Muthieb on Twitter

I wish the news channels would ignore videos like this. Why give them the publicity?

This is very important. What Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi currently looks like is crucial intelligence. And most news outlets have been very reluctant to show much of the actual video, which is in Arabic and would only reach a small audience in the West anyway. I could only find the full thing from ISIS-supporter Twitter accounts, which I have decided not to link to for obvious reasons. It can be found easily on Twitter with searches in Arabic though.

Yes, but I don't need to know about it.
Neither do 99.99% of the people on earth. As long as the intelligence agencies see it, that is sufficient.

So you think the fact (and proof) that the most notorious terrorist of our age is still alive despite multiple claims of him being killed should be suppressed knowledge?

There's a distinction between disproportionately promoting news stories and hiding information from the general public. The less secret information intelligence agencies have, the better.

I hope it is likely that those who could track him down and send a drone to him had this information for a while before us. There are those, and not a few, who think this man is a hero, so much that with his people he might not even need to hide. Allah SWT knows.

I doubt it. The video was obviously made very recently. Al-Baghdadi talks about the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka and various other recent events. I don't think anyone external knew of it before today. That's a very narrow time frame.

And so did the Americans several other times. I personally won't believe it until I see a photo of his corpse the likes of that of al-Zarqawi. But of course we'll never get that.

Hopefully they get him.

A nice drone can pay him a visit.

bad info--- deleted
NSA documents refer to recent implementation of the hornet’s nest to protect the Zionist entity by creating religious and Islamic slogans.

According to documents released by Snowden, “The only solution for the protection of the Jewish state “is to create an enemy near its borders”.

Update: I have the full 18-minute video downloaded and will be uploading it to archive.org for those curious. Will probably not translate it — I have better things to do — and I dunno if anyone else will. The Twitter account I got it from has since been suspended so not sure If it can be found anywhere else.

Israel is NOT and has not trained ISIS nor do they support them. I am very critical of Israel, but this lie is outrageous.

Because it attracts viewers and thus advertising revenue which is the reason for their existence.

 

[Kangaroo Feathers]

But wait a minute. I'm confused. How can ISIS be releasing videos when we were told by President Trump that ISIS had been destroyed?

Obviously op's source is wrong, because otherwise that would mean Mr Trump said something untrue! I mean, come on, which is more likely?

 

[Altfish]

I know, but that is where it is wrong. Most countries have banned advertising for cigarettes; why not ban advertising for terrorism?
