The expert in Islamic groups, Marwan Shehadeh, said that the message of “Aladnani”, the spokesman for ISIS, stresses that the organization is going through tough times, and trying to keep the support of his followers.
He added, in a telephone interview with ROZANA, that "losing of land for the organization; does not mean total defeat, there is a solution, which is positioning in other places, and to implement strikes not only against the Shiite militias, but also against all coalition countries, and it seems they are preparing for an action within Europe and the United States, and we have become accustomed to that this organization always carry out its promises."
The researcher from the Jordanian capital of Amman, explained "we have seen a decline in the organization until it almost ended in 2008, and withdrawn to uninhabited areas in Syria, but returned again, so it's difficult to eliminate it completely."
He added: "But it is clear that there is serious international intention to remove it from the big cities controlled by them, such as Fallujah in Iraq and Raqa in Syria, especially after Iran supplied the Popular Crowd Militia with missiles, and also after the visit of the US forces’ commander to Qamishli yesterday, and I think the next few days are carrying surprises of losing large areas by the flexible-nature organization, without being end! The question is, will it lose its ability to carry out strikes? I do not think that, it can protect its commanders and soldiers, besides, it is good at breaking into the border. "
He added, saying: "Even if the alliance forces were able to kill the leader of ISIS (Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi), that does not mean the end of the organization, because the killing of al-Zarqawi and Abu Ali Anbari and Bin Laden, doesn’t end the organization, it has become a nation with institutions and is able to change the leadership quickly."
Shehadeh ruled the idea of that the "Front victory" would declare the loyalty to the organization, "ISIS", revealing that there are some calls among the “Front” stating that "Abu Mohammad al-Adnani” has cut the road on them and describing them as apostates."
Noteworthy that, the organization had called for more attacks against "the West", during the next month of Ramadan, in a registered statement for "Abu Mohammad al-Adnani," published on the Internet.
