3) While #SriLanka has indeed been mentioned within #ISIS chatter—along with members from Sri Lanka touted as being within the group’s ranks—the country has never been a prominent staple of incitements and recruitment to the like of other nations.

14) If these are actually pictures of the attackers (though I stress again that these images are not verified as being from
#ISIS), the use of the ISIS-associated black banner, instead of any local organization's, would make further indication of its role in the attacks.Vis denne tråd -
15) Breaking: Through its Amaq Agency,
#ISIS claimed credit for Easter Day bombings in#SriLanka, citing "security source to Amaq Agency" in reporting: "the executors of the attack that targeted citizens of coalition states & Christians in Sri Lanka two days ago were with ISIS."pic.twitter.com/mPrYSiL2zv

#ISIS-linked channels are disseminating the#Tamil translation of the ‘Amaq claim for the#SriLankaAttacks. Not surprising, given that#Tamil is among the languages ISIS media is translated to, as I wrote earlier. https://twitter.com/Rita_Katz/status/1120000099961253889 …pic.twitter.com/OjZCmAEt3A

17) This Amaq report does not in itself indicate that
#ISIS was actively behind the attack; the language in this statement is also typical of ISIS-inspired attacks as well. It will thus be crucial to see if an official communique by ISIS will be released.Vis denne tråd -
18) Mention of “Christians” not typical of ‘Amaq statements—gives further implication of a post-
#NewZealandAttack retaliation-branding. Furthermore, really takes a free ride on “coalition” label; though some casualties of coalition countries,#SriLanka not a coalition member.Vis denne tråd -
Breaking:
#ISIS released an official claim for#SriLankaAttacks providing details on the ops, naming 7 executers and indicating "Approx 1000 among killed and wounded"pic.twitter.com/vbAUQBGv2t

20) The statement identifies the seven attackers as Abu Ubayda, Abu al-Mukhtar, Abu Khalil, Abu Hamza, Abu al-Bara’a, Abu Muhammad, and Abu Abdullah. Three of these seven names are consistent with images (appearing to be taken from video) of 3 attackers https://twitter.com/Rita_Katz/status/1120380811235266560 …pic.twitter.com/TizTQAaol7

21) The detail given in
#ISIS’ communique (attackers’ names, where each of them attacked) shows that the group had a hand in the attack—the degree to which still remains to be seen. The group's delay in claiming is also an unanswered variable.https://ent.siteintelgroup.com/Statements/is-issues-formal-communique-for-sri-lanka-bombings-claims-1-000-casualties.html …Vis denne tråd -

#ISIS 'Amaq News Agency releases a 59-second video showing#SriLanka attackers pledging to#ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The video shows eight men pledging together, led by Zahran Hashim, the suspected "mastermind" of the attacks. https://ent.siteintelgroup.com/Statements/amaq-video-shows-sri-lanka-attackers-pledging-to-is-leader.html …pic.twitter.com/kd4r2m1ej6

24) Latest issue of
#ISIS’ Naba calls#SriLanka victims “belligerent Christians.” The issue also claims a new attack on church in#Nigeria, using same label of “belligerent Christians” and threatening for additional attacks on churches/Christianshttps://ent.siteintelgroup.com/Statements/is-features-infographic-on-sri-lanka-bombings-in-naba-179-names-zahran-hashim-and-provides-additional-details.html …Vis denne tråd -
25) That said, important not to view
#SriLankaAttacks as response to#NewZealand massacre. As I state in my recent@thedailybeast article,#ISIS issued a fatwa allowing for killing of Christians in 2017, using this exact same “belligerent Christians” label https://www.thedailybeast.com/what-the-sri-lanka-bombings-tell-us-about-the-state-of-isis …pic.twitter.com/fyVKRq7mUW

#ISIS rose way to fast to be credible & there were major problems with their beheading videos not to mention alleged victim may have had ties to the#CIA Wag the Dog may seem unlikely but even without it they're suing it as excuse to chip away rights! https://zacherydtaylor.blogspot.com/2014/09/im-not-completely-ruling-out-isis-wag.html …pic.twitter.com/JMMGnX1MOF

Looks like ISIS are keen to hit new targets, especially mixed Christian & Muslim areas. Hope Singapore & Malaysia have beefed up their security.
