        3. We live in a bizarre world: A senior AQ cleric (yes, al Qaeda!) in Syria is cheering on American airstrikes that kill #IS leaders.

        4. This goes to show -- again -- how deep the rivalry between #AlQaeda & #IS became. Can't imagine any AQ celebrating US strikes otherwise.

        5. Notice how #AQ plays off of #IS to appear more mainstream/acceptable to Muslims. Part of trend we've documented for a few years now.

      AQ is doing this on Twitter - in English. To "differentiate" themselves from IS. Marketing 101.

        Seem to recall that #Adnani even wrote some pieces under a pseudonym attacking #AlQaeda and #Zawahiri.
