1. Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi

His full name— Ibrahim Awaad Ibrahim Ali Al-Badri As-Samarrayi. He is considered the main leader of the ISIS group. Last year, Al-Baghdadi declared himself its emir and even demanded that other extremist terrorist groups swear allegiance to him.

Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi was born in Baghdad in 1971 in a place near the city of Samarra. In 2011, the United States placed him on the terrorist list and set a $10 million reward for anyone who provided information about his whereabouts.

During the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein, Al-Baghdadi's brother served in the Iraqi army and died in the line of duty. However, the current head of ISIS himself was unable to go to military service due to vision problems. Instead, he entered the Faculty of Koranic Studies at the University of Baghdad, where he completed his master's degree.

Al-Baghdadi led all of Al-Qaeda's military operations in Iraq and is considered the mastermind behind many of the group's major terrorist attacks. His most famous operation was the attack on Baghdad's Umm al-Qura mosque in 2011, which killed Iraqi parliament member Khalid al-Fahdawi.

The British Guardian newspaper reported some time ago that Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi was wounded as a result of an air attack by anti-ISIS coalition forces in Iraq. The publication also provided information that the wound was in the spine, so the ISIS leader is now unable to move independently.

ISIS leader - Mossad agent
Simon Elliot, aka Al-Baghdadi (Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi), son of Jewish parents, Mossad agent.
Veterans Today - Monday, August 4, 2014

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the so-called "caliph", the leader of ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) is, according to Edward Snowden's sources, an agent named Elliot Shimon, a specially trained Mossad operative.

Simon Elliot (Elliot Shimon), aka Al-Baghdadi, was born of two Jewish parents and is a Mossad agent.

We offer below three translations that claim that Caliph al-Baghdadi is a full-fledged Mossad agent, and that he was born of a Jewish father and mother:

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's real name is "Simon Elliott."

The so-called "Elliot" was recruited by the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad and trained in espionage and psychological warfare against Arab and Islamic communities.

This information was attributed to Edward Snowden and published in newspapers and other websites: the head of the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, collaborated with the British, Israeli and US secret services to create an organization capable of attracting extremist terrorists from around the world .

Source: Radio ajyal.com

Another source confirmed this statement, website EGy-Press:

Based on photographic documents: Iranian media has discovered the real identity of the "Emir of ISIS", a trained Zionist agent.

Iranian intelligence has discovered the true and complete identity of the "ISIS Emir", who goes by the name Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi; his real name Elliot Shimon. This is a Mossad agent performing important and secret mission Zionist espionage. His fictitious name: Ibrahim ibn Awad bin Ibrahim Al Badri Al Aradwi Husseini.

Plan: get into the military and civilian leadership countries declared as a “threat to Israel” in order to destroy them and thereby facilitate their further absorption by the Zionist state throughout the Middle East. With the goal of creating a Greater Israel.

These are the boundaries of the Zionist project, “Greater Israel” or “Eretz Israel” for short.

These facts, published a few days ago, confirm that the Caliph Rolex is directed by Israel to wreak havoc in countries neighboring the Zionist entity. Please note that ISIS announced a few days ago that they now want to take on the "barbarian Jews", meaning the Zionists besieging Gaza.

Indeed! An attack on Israeli soil will now allow the Americans and Israelis to point fingers at the murderous terrorists and shoot faster and harder to “defend the Zionist state.” While they launched the same scheme with impunity more than two months ago. This project was probably prepared within the framework of the same “Arab Spring” to destabilize Iraq, Sudan, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria and Mali (among others). Clever!

Listen to the words again and again B.-A. Levi (BHL) about the so-called "Arab Spring":

BHL, "le printemps arabe est bon pour ISRAEL" -LaVraieVerite-
BHL: "Arab Spring is good for Israel" -LaVraieVerite-

By gathering the most zealous fanatics from all over the world in one place, an entire “army of the devil” is formed, a gang of bloodthirsty killers without mercy for their victims, they kill with redoubled force and in cold blood. And they post footage of their atrocities on social networks.

The question is rhetorical.
The mere fact that the Russian government is headed by a kosher Mendel, who goes by the Russian pseudonym “Medvedev” (and before that he was the president of the country), speaks volumes. This criminal gang has been in power in the Kremlin for 16 years.
Although they are stupid in various ways, they are not to the same extent as not to know a lot about ISIS and everything else.
The Syrian war has slightly different goals than those declared by the zombie box to the goyish people.

MOSCOW, September 30. /TASS-DOSSIER/. "Islamic State" is an Islamist terrorist organization operating in Iraq and Syria (abbreviated IS or ISIS, in Arab media - Daesh).

IS is recognized as a terrorist organization in the USA, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Tajikistan, Turkey, Egypt, UAE, India, Indonesia, and Russia (since December 29, 2014). Its activities on the territory of these countries are prohibited.

Formation and development

Created in October 2006 as a result of the merger of several radical Sunni formations led by a division of Al-Qaeda (a terrorist group banned in the Russian Federation) in Iraq under the name “Islamic State of Iraq” (ISI). At the same time, a “constitution” was adopted - “Notification of Humanity about the Birth of the Islamic State.” ISI's goal is to take over the Sunni part of Iraq and turn it into a militarized Islamic state. In 2010, one of the leaders of al-Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, became the emir of ISI.

In April 2013, by merging two branches of al-Qaeda in Iraq and Syria - the Islamic State of Iraq and the Syrian Jabhat al-Nusra (a terrorist group banned in the Russian Federation) - a group called the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" (ISIS), the goal of which was the creation of an Islamic emirate on the territory of Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.

On April 10, 2013, ISIS fighters pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri. However, due to hostility and regular clashes between the Iraqi and Syrian groups, al-Zawahiri decided in November 2013 to disband ISIS so that the Islamic State of Iraq and Jabhat al-Nusra would act independently of each other, one - in Iraq, and the other in Syria. However, ISIS continued to operate on the territory of both states. In September 2015, Ayman al-Zawahiri invited the Islamic State militants to act as a united front against the “crusaders and atheists,” while emphasizing that he did not recognize the caliphate they had declared.

In June 2014, ISIS terrorists took control of several oil fields in the area of ​​the cities of Mosul and Kirkuk (Iraq). Having captured large military bases in Iraq, they received at their disposal a large amount of weapons and military equipment, including portable anti-aircraft missile systems, American-made tanks, armored personnel carriers and howitzers. According to American intelligence and statements by Iraqi authorities, IS militants also possess chemical weapons and have repeatedly used mustard gas and chlorine-containing ammunition in Syria and Iraq.

On June 29, 2014, ISIS announced the creation of an “Islamic Caliphate” in the occupied territories of Iraq and Syria, and the leader of the organization, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was appointed “caliph.” At the same time, it was decided to rename the group “Islamic State” (IS).

According to CIA estimates, the number of the group is about 30 thousand people, while the Iraqi authorities claim 200 thousand. According to estimates by the Russian Ministry of Defense as of December 2015, IS numbers 60 thousand people. Citizens of 80 countries are fighting in the ranks of militants, including about 2 thousand citizens of the Russian Federation.

Sources of financing

Oil trading

The main source of income for Islamists is the illegal oil trade.

In the territories under its control, IS has a monopoly on its production and supply. Experts note high level oil business organizations. Control over the deposits is exercised by police detachments formed from militants. A significant portion of the resources are extracted in eastern Syria. Production volume reaches from 20 to 40 thousand barrels per day. The cost of raw materials sold is $20–45 per barrel of oil. Revenues from oil sales reached up to $3 million per day.

Accusations of oil purchases from IS terrorists are being made against the Syrian authorities, as well as the government of Iraqi Kurdistan (Kurdish Autonomous Region of Iraq). On November 24, 2015, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia has long known “the fact that a large amount of oil and petroleum products flows into Turkish territory from territories captured by ISIS.”

Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, on the financing of terrorism

US authorities claim that IS receives $40 million monthly from oil smuggling, while the majority of oil purchases from militants are carried out by the Assad regime, some “goes across the border to Turkey.”

On December 2, 2015, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that IS terrorists have at least 8.5 thousand tank trucks, they transport up to 20 thousand barrels of oil per day. The department noted that airstrikes carried out since September 30, 2015 Russian aviation according to IS positions in Syria, they called to halve their income from the illegal sale of oil (from $3 million to $1.5 million per day).

On December 17, 2015, the permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, said at a meeting of the UN Security Council that the bulk of IS oil trade goes through Turkey “through the mediation of shadow economic structures.” According to Churkin, oil is purchased by smugglers in cash in production areas. “In most cases, tank trucks are used to transport oil, going through the border points of Karkamysh, Akcakale, Cilvegezu and Oncupinar. The number of tank trucks is in the thousands. A number of Turkish companies, including Serie, are engaged in their supply to IS.” (city of Konya) and “Sam otomotiv” (city of Antakya),” listed the permanent representative of the Russian Federation. According to the diplomat, in Turkey, oil purchased from IS "is delivered to the oil refinery of the company "Turkish Petroleum Refinery A.Sh." ("TURPASH"), located in the city of Batman. At the same time, the main flow of hydrocarbons is shipped through Turkish ports on the coast Mediterranean Sea, primarily through the port of Ceyhan.

Other sources

IS's second largest source of income is the smuggling of cultural artifacts. In addition, militants receive ransom for hostages, engage in racketeering and robbery, and collect “Islamic tax” (a tax for refusing to convert to Sunni Islam). According to some reports, IS is receiving cash from private investors from countries Persian Gulf supporting the fight against the regime of Bashar al-Assad. There is information that money transactions and transfers are carried out in the virtual currency Bitcoin (when operating with cryptocurrency, it is difficult to identify sources of funding).

According to information Federal service of the Russian Federation for drug control, militants earn up to $500 million a year from the transit of Afghan heroin through the controlled territory. According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, IS is also involved in the trade in human organs.

According to research conducted by experts of the UN Security Council monitoring group and independent NGOs, every year IS sells oil and gas worth up to $950 million, wheat and rye - $200 million, cement - $100 million, cotton - $20 million, and also actively trades phosphates, sulfuric and phosphoric acid.

On February 12, 2015, the UN Security Council adopted resolution 2199 on suppressing the financing of terrorist organizations ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra (initiated by Russia). The resolution establishes a ban on any trade in oil and petroleum products, as well as precious metals and cultural values ​​with IS and Jabhat al-Nusra and provides for sanctions against individuals and legal entities for rendering financial support terrorists (travel ban and asset freeze).

Group activities

IS has managed to significantly expand its influence in Libya. Since 2014, terrorist attacks have been carried out across the country by militants loyal to IS. The militants control the province of Derna, some areas of Benghazi, and in June 2015 they captured the city of Sirte. In addition, IS claimed responsibility for terrorist attacks carried out in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. The expansion of the group’s activities prompted Arab countries to create a military alliance to combat terrorism. In January 2015, the leadership of the Islamic State announced the creation of the Khorasan Emirate, which included Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. Hafiz Saiyid Khan, one of the leaders of the Taliban (a terrorist group banned in the Russian Federation) in Pakistan, was appointed its emir. Many field commanders and ordinary Taliban fighters have sworn allegiance to IS, but overall relations between these groups remain tense. According to the Russian General Staff as of October 2015, the number of IS militants in Afghanistan is about 2-3 thousand people. In July 2015, IS militants published a video message in which they expressed their intention to seize power in Palestine and destroy Israel.

The ideology of IS is popular among other extremist groups. Terrorist organizations from Algeria, Egypt, the Philippines, and Pakistan swore allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The Nigerian Boko Haram also came out in support of the caliphate.

Currently in Iraq, IS militants control a number of cities in the provinces of Anbar, Diyala, Salah ad-Din and Ninewa, and in Syria - a significant part of the provinces of Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor. In December 2015, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that about 70% of the territory of Syria was under the control of militants. According to the UN, the wave of violence that swept through Iraq in 2014 forced more than 2 million people to flee their homes. According to the UN, more than 19 thousand civilians were killed in Iraq from January 2014 to August 2015, and about 30 thousand were injured. According to the human rights organization Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, more than 3 thousand people were killed by IS militants in Syria from June 2014 to June 2015.

From time to time, militants distribute videos of the killings of foreign hostages.

The fight against IS

The United States has been conducting an airborne operation against the Islamic State in Iraq since August 8, 2014, and in Syria since September 23, 2014. At the NATO summit in Wales in September 2014, it was decided to create an international coalition to combat jihadists, to which About 60 countries joined.

On September 30, 2015, the Russian Aerospace Forces began carrying out airstrikes against IS positions in Syria at the request of Bashar al-Assad.

Damage to cultural heritage

The activities of IS militants have caused irreparable damage to the cultural heritage of Iraq and Syria.

In February 2015, extremists destroyed the central library and historical museum in Mosul, resulting in the loss of ancient sculptures, bas-reliefs and manuscripts.

In March 2015, they razed the ruins of the ancient cities of Kalah, Hatra and Dur-Sharrukin, and in August they destroyed most of the ruins of Palmyra located in Syria.

On February 28, 2015, the UN Security Council adopted a statement in which it condemned the destruction of monuments and objects of historical, cultural and religious value by the IS group, placing these actions on a par with terrorist acts.

Groups that have pledged allegiance to IS

The ideology of IS is popular among other extremist groups. Terrorist organizations from Algeria, Egypt, the Philippines, and Pakistan swore allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

​The first group to join the Islamic State was a detachment of militants from Central Asia "Sabri Jamaat", numbering more than 70 militants (mostly Uzbeks). The entire squad swore allegiance to IS in March 2014.

In the spring of 2014, individual small groups from radical extremist groups declared support for IS "Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula"(AQAP) and "Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb"(AKIM). AQAP, with more than 1,000 fighters, is based in Yemen, and AQIM, with between 700 and 1,000 fighters, is based in Algeria.

They also stated that they were ready to assist in the creation of a worldwide Islamic caliphate. However, in April 2015, the Afghan authorities fell into internal documents the IS and Taliban groups, according to which extremist organizations declared jihad on each other ("holy war" - TASS note).

On November 4, 2014, a communique was published on the Internet in which the group swore allegiance to IS "Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis". This radical group of about 2 thousand militants operates in the north of the Sinai Peninsula. On the same day, representatives of the group issued an official statement in which they denied this information.

Is ISIS Islamist organization, or an Arab and Turkish racist organization?

If you look at the leaders of the ISIS gangs in Iraq and Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan), the answer to these questions arises very easily.

Is ISIS really Islamic organization, or is it implementing Arab and Turkish racist annexation under the guise of Islam?

What is its main purpose?

Who is it coordinated by?

First of all, let us pay attention to the Iraqi structure of ISIS.

LEADERS AND STRUCTURE OF ISIS IN SYRIAN KURDISTAN

The circle of ISIS leaders in Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan) mainly consists of Chechens stationed by the Turkish National Intelligence Organization (MIT) in Istanbul's Laleli quarter.

Along with the popular uprising in March 2011 in Syria, the Turkish authorities, out of anti-Kurdish motives, began to act in the direction of Rojava.

With the aim of taking over Syrian Kurdistan and committing massacres, on February 22, 2012, they created an organization to wage a special war, SADAT (Industrial and Trade Joint Stock Company for international protection, consulting and construction).

At the head of this organization for waging a special war, GENERALS Korkmaz Tagma and Adnan Tanriverdi were PUT, who committed a number of massacres in Kurdistan in the 90s.

Such representatives of Chechens as Abu Umar Shishani - Tarkan Batarashvili (Chechen), Abu Musa Chechen (Shishani), Seifullah Chechen (Shishani) and Yakur Lezgi Chechen, living under the control of the Turkish MIT in the Laleli quarter of Istanbul, were elevated to the rank of responsible behind military training militants. As part of the coordination carried out by SADAT, ISIS was activated to take over and carry out massacres in Syrian Kurdistan.

1. Abu Umar Shishani (Chechen)

Real name Tarkhan Batarashvili. It is reported that he comes from a family of Georgian Chechens. Born in the Pankisi Gorge with a predominantly Chechen population. Served in the Georgian army as an intelligence officer.

At the end of 2011, he was transported to Istanbul by an employee of the Turkish MIT with the code name Mansur Al Turk.

Here, the Turkish MIT, mainly from Chechen refugees, created a bandit organization called the Army of Emigrants and Ensar. Umar Shishani was appointed head, and the organization was sent to Rojava, where it was subordinated to the ISIS structure. Step by step, he was promoted to the level of commander-in-chief of ISIS forces in Syrian Kurdistan. The destruction of the Kurds in Rojava occurred through the efforts of Abu Umar Shishani.

There is information that its headquarters was established near the tomb of Shah Suleiman, controlled by the Turkish military. It is reported that, as part of directives received from the Turkish MIT, he carried out massacres in Rojava.

2. Abu Musa Shishani - Chechen

When the Army of Emigrants and Ensar was created by the Turkish MIT, Abu Musa Shishani was appointed as Abu Umar Shishani's deputy. It was Abu Musa who received the first instructions from the Turkish MIT. As part of the instructions he received, he directed the actions of ISIS and Abu Umar Shishani. Although the official commander of ISIS forces in Rojava was Abu Umar Shishani, the real commander was Abu Musa Shishani. He often stayed at the Turkish MIT.

On July 21, 2013, he was arrested by Al-Ekrad militants in Gir Spi (Tell Abyad). Abu Musa was later released by Al-Ekrad militants in exchange for the release of 400 Kurdish civilians kidnapped by ISIS militants.

Abdukadir Şen, under the guise of a journalist, carries out activities in Turkey on behalf of ISIS, and is a secret informant of Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. Has connections with Abu Umar Shashani, receives information and engages in propaganda for ISIS.

Can ISIS have anything to do with Islam if the leadership of this organization, according to information obtained from discovered documents, consists of five officers of Saddam Hussein, Arab racists and murderers who were directly involved in chemical attack in Halabja and carried out the Anfal operation in Kurdistan, the leadership in Rojava consists of Chechen militants controlled by the Turkish MIT and based in the Laleli district of Istanbul, and also consists of bandits former organization Hizbullah?

1. Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi

His full name is Ibrahim Awaad Ibrahim Ali Al-Badri As-Samarrayi. He is considered the main leader of the ISIS group. Last year, Al-Baghdadi declared himself its emir and even demanded that other extremist terrorist groups swear allegiance to him.

Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi was born in Baghdad in 1971 in a place near the city of Samarra. In 2011, the United States placed him on the terrorist list and set a $10 million reward for anyone who provided information about his whereabouts.

During the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein, Al-Baghdadi's brother served in the Iraqi army and died in the line of duty. However, the current head of ISIS himself was unable to go to military service due to vision problems. Instead, he entered the Faculty of Koranic Studies at the University of Baghdad, where he completed his master's degree.

Al-Baghdadi led all of Al-Qaeda's military operations in Iraq and is considered the mastermind behind many of the group's major terrorist attacks. His most famous operation was the attack on Baghdad's Umm al-Qura mosque in 2011, which killed Iraqi parliament member Khalid al-Fahdawi.

The British Guardian newspaper reported some time ago that Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi was wounded as a result of an air attack by anti-ISIS coalition forces in Iraq. The publication also provided information that the wound was in the spine, so the ISIS leader is now unable to move independently.
