The spokesman of the Islamic State, Abu Mohammad Al Adnani, was killed in northern Syria, near Aleppo. The news was given by the same tonight Caliphate, through its “news agency” Amaq. But Al Adnani, real name Falah Taha, was not only the “spokesman” of the Islamic State. At Adnani he was one of the fiercest hierarchs of the Is, the mind and the inspiration of several “lone wolves” (although de facto so “lonely” are not) and bloody attacks in Europe. One of the last columns of the old guard of the Caliphate, decimated in recent months by US raids and a long string of defeats on the field. It is a blow for the Islamic State, that only a few weeks ago had suffered another heavy loss, namely the death of Omar Shishani “The Chechen”, he also most likely killed by an American raid.
Who killed Al Adnani? is not yet clear. According Amaq, Al Adnani was killed while on patrol in the area around Aleppo, where the battle in recent weeks has become increasingly bloody. No other details. But in the evening I received a confirmation perhaps decisive: by return from the official of the Is, the US Defense has confirmed the attack an “important leader” of the Islamic State in Syria in the
Al Bab, in the governorate of Aleppo, about fifty kilometers to the north-east of the capital. But a few minutes later Washington was explicit: “At Adnani was our goal.” According Site, which has monitored some posts from jihadists, Al Adnani was killed while traveling from Raqqa, the “capital” of the Caliphate, and Aleppo, just in the Al Bab area.
Who was Al Adnani ? And why his killing could be devastating for the Islamic State? Born in 1977 in Idlib, Syria, Al Adnani officially entered the elite of terrorism in the twenty-first century, having taken an oath to al-Zarqawi, leader of the Islamic State in Iraq. The terrorist group is the antecedent of the current Is, created by Jordanian terrorist after the US intervention against Saddam Hussein in 2003. At Adnani later fled Syria after he was jailed several times by the Assad regime, before settling in the governorate Anbar, Iraq. Arrested at least twice by Coalition forces, he has spent at least six years in prison at Camp Bucca, as the Caliph Al Baghdadi, after all. Once out he is affiliated at Is. And Al Baghdadi sent him back immediately in Syria, along with another monster of Islamic extremism, Al Joulani, who founded the Islamic State in Syria and then, after violent disputes with the Caliph, go to Al Nusra Front, affiliated with Al Qaeda.
Propaganda and lone wolves. E ‘right here, in Syria, Al Adnani begins to weave his evil network. Communication, first of all, as shown by the Is from birth: terrifying and hyper video, sometimes unstoppable terrorist propaganda on the Internet and social networking, recruiters and foreign fighters drawn from around the world. And, above all, it was crucial her role in triggering the lone wolves around the world, particularly in Europe. It was he who weave the canvas towards the future attackers, both live and via web, with frequent contacts but also through intermediaries or the simple “oath” to the Caliph in the massacre accomplished, without any real contact with the terrorist group. And it was Al Adnani, in fact, to say September 22, 2014 the manifesto of the “call to arms”. In the audio statement of 42 minutes, Al Adnani urged individual Muslims living in the West to kill civilians in their countries by resorting to any means possible, and to do so without having to wait for more precise instructions from the terrorist group leader. “If you can kill a disbelieving American or European, or any other disbeliever who makes war, including citizens of the countries that joined in a coalition against the Islamic State, you rely to Allah and kill him in any way or manner can be. Crushes his head with a stone, or sgozzalo with a knife, or investilo with your car, or precipitalo from a high place, or soffocalo, or avvelenalo “, he said. Many of the Is claimed attacks were inspired precisely by this statement of Al Adnani, think of the recent attacks in Nice and Rouen.
The dormant cells created in Europe . not only. And ‘certain that Al Adnani, over the years, has materially created a network of terrorist sleeper cells in Europe and not only ready to attack at any time. The former New York Times Rukmini Callimachi, in an article also appeared in La Repubblica, interviewed Harry Sarfo, a foreign fighter German who years ago joined at Is. “ It was said to have many affiliates who live in European countries and are waiting for the order to go into action against the Europeans,” he told Sarfo, “and I’m referring to a period prior to the Brussels attacks, even before those of Paris”. Most likely already in 2013, and for that in Europe there are men and arms depots that you can not identify: entered sleep before you knew what was the Is. After all, the first time that the European authorities were aware of this spider web of terror was in 2014, when the French Bouchrane Fazi, 24, trained in Syria and educated, apparently “personally” was arrested, Al adnani.
the intelligence structure of Al Adnani. “They also added that he wants each attack to take place simultaneously with another: they want to carry out attacks at the same time in England, in Germany and France “, continued Sarfo, who in his testimony spoke of masked agents in the intelligence unit of the Islamic State better known in Arabic as Emni, committed to exporting terrorism:” a secret service several levels under the command general of the supreme commander of the Islamic State, spokesman and propaganda chief Abu Muhammad al-Adnani “. Under him there would even be a level lieutenants in charge of planning attacks in various places: a “secret service for European Affairs,” a “secret service for Asian Affairs” and a “secret service for Arab affairs”. Moreover, Adnani would cure even personally birth and the Is of operations management in Bangladesh. Where they massacred Italians entrepreneurs sending images of live online performances.
” now revenge. “ the risk now is that those terrorist sleeper cells in Europe (and not only) which may explode at any moment. After the announcement of the death of Al Adnani, affiliates and supporters of the Is on the web you have flared in praise of martyrdom and promising atrocious revenge against the masterminds of his assassination. In some dispatches circulated online, Al Adnani was named “Al Qurayshi” (the tribe of the Prophet Mohammed), a sign that, as a “descendant,” was at the forefront of a future succession of Al Baghdadi. In a statement released from Is the next few hours after the first announcement of the death of Al Adnani, the Caliphate announces harsh retaliation against “the faithful and crusaders” to get the “righteous vengeance. Because we love death and not life.”
