ISIS
Unveiled: The Identity of The Insurgency in Syria and Iraq
Christof
Lehmann (nsnbc) : The ISIS/ISIL offensive of June 2014
in Iraq and any political or military responses to it cannot be understood
without first “unveiling ISIS”. ISIS/ISIL brigades seized Iraq’s northern
city of Mosul and most of western Iraq within days. Iraqi military withdrew
from Iraq’s second-largest city after no more than token resistance. Unveiling ISIS, all trails lead to the royal house of Saud,
CIA headquarters, and their shared network for global mercenary and terrorist
operations called Al-Qaeda.
Origin of ISIS/ISIL
as Al-Qaeda in Iraq – Weaving the Veil of ISIS. ISIS / ISIL is a successor
organization of the former Al-Qaeda in Iraq, allegedly established by Abdullah
al-Rashid al-Baghdadi. Al Baghdadi, however, was a creation of Al-Qaeda, a
publicity figure with the function to endow the Saudi-U.S. creation “Al-Qaeda”
with an Iraqi face, whom radicalized Iraqi Sunni Muslims could identify with.
Brigadier-General Kevin Bergner told a news conference that Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, leader of the self-styled Islamic State of Iraq, which was purportedly set up last year, did not exist.
The Islamic State of Iraq was established to try to put an Iraqi face on what is a foreign-driven network, Bergner said. The name Baghdadi means the person hails from the Iraqi capital.
One of the
persons behind the al-Baghdadi brand was the Egyptian Abu Ayyub al-Masri, a
close aide to and successor of Al-Qaeda’s Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi who was killed
in a U.S. air strike on June 7, 2006. Al-Masri was politically active in
Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan) where he joined Ayman al-Zawahiri’s
Egyptian Islamic Jihad in 1982. He went on to the Osama Bin Laden run al-Farouk
training camp in Afghanistan in 1999. He came to Iraq via the United Arab
Emirates and Saudi Arabia in 2002.
ISIS reborn –
Iraq closes Saudi smuggling routes in Al-Anbar Province, creating Saudi –
Jordanian and Jordanian – U.S. tensions.
