For the first time in five years, Abu Bakr al-Baghdidi, the leader of the Islamic State group appeared on video acknowledging defeat of the last stronghold they had in Syria. However, during the same video he claimed their group was responsible for the bombings in Sri Lanka as part of the revenge that awaits the West. During the same video he also called for followers to intensify attacks on France. Despite many of his top aids being killed, losing stronghold in Syria and allegedly his ailing health, this recent video was released to be a moral booster among the extremist factions. Was this a last ditch effort of a dying man and a rebellion regime? If so, why did I have to dig to find this information? If this is true it should be on the headliner on the nightly news......
